Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Well, her matter hasn't been resolved yet, so for the time being, I'll have to take responsibility for her safety."

Zuoyou nodded. There was nothing he could do about it. Although he liked building houses, he didn't care much about territoriality. In fact, he would be overjoyed if friends lived in the houses he built.

"So it's because of Kaguya that you didn't want to come?"

Saya had actually sensed a slight conflict between Amakawa Tsubasa and Kaguya, and he had no idea what would happen if they were to live together again.

"No, I'm going, and right now. Since you're here too, helping me move shouldn't be a problem, right?" Yuchuan Yi shook her head firmly. In fact, after learning about this, she was even more certain that she wanted to move in. Wih Zuoyou scratched his head. Was it really necessary to be in such a hurry?

"Yes, right now. Anyway, this is all Kaguya's family property. I only have a little bit of my own stuff. Rather than trouble her to owe her a favor, I'd rather owe you one." Amakawa Tsubasa nodded, twisted her body in Saya's arms a couple of times, and looked up at Saya with alluring eyes.

"As for the rent, Saya-kun, would you mind paying it off with something else?"

Chapter 304 Should we try adding the word "woman" before it?

"Actually, I never intended to charge you rent if you moved in." Saya's heart raced a little at Amakawa Tsubasa's gaze. After a bunch of doujinshi about compensation flashed through his mind, he realized that this idea was wrong and quickly turned his head away, explaining to her in a low voice.

"Is that so? But I'd feel bad if I just accepted Saya's kindness on my own." As if on purpose, Amakawa Tsubasa rubbed against Saya twice, and the strange sensation from his chest made Saya's breathing become slightly more rapid.

"No...don't say things that will cause misunderstandings. Five minutes have passed, right? I'm glad you can forgive me. Can we separate now?" Saya stammered, not daring to meet Amakawa Tsubasa's gaze. His hand moved down from her waist, but the amazing touch lingered on his fingertips. He figured he wouldn't be able to forget it anytime soon.

"Then I'll only ask you one thing, Saya-kun. If you answer me truthfully, I promise I won't bring it up again, okay?"

Amakawa Tsubasa also knew that she absolutely couldn't rush things with Saya, so she didn't explicitly say anything about his quick change of topic. Instead, she asked him to confirm a question that she had always been very concerned about.

As if he already knew what strange question Amakawa Tsubasa would ask, Saya had already placed his hand on his temple and pressed it, waiting for the girl to ask her question.

"In your heart, Saya-kun, what is my role? Am I simply the class monitor? Or, to put it more bluntly, just a tool?"

Amakawa Tsubasa knew that if he asked, Saya would definitely answer directly. He was a straightforward person, and he wouldn't beat around the bush on these matters. However, asking this question most of the time would just be asking for trouble, and Saya's answer would definitely disappoint him. After all, if Saya really liked someone, he would definitely be the kind of person who would confess directly.

However, Yu Chuanyi didn't expect to become his lover in the first place, and given his current situation, it was impossible for her to do so anyway. She simply wanted to know how much she meant to him, so as not to repeat her previous willful actions in the future.

"As for location tracking, we're definitely friends. If we really want to talk about something deeper than friends, maybe even best friends? Anyway, I really enjoy spending time with you. Of course, it would be even better if you didn't tease me sometimes." As she expected, Zuo You spoke his mind. He genuinely enjoyed his interactions with Yu Chuan Yi. She understood many things without him needing to explain, and she could help him solve many problems he didn't understand. He didn't have to worry about her leaking secrets, and even for very private matters or troubles, sharing and seeking her help was a good choice. Zuo You didn't have many friends, and Yu Chuan Yi was practically his only truly close confidante.

"What if I encounter danger?" Yuchuan Yi wanted to ask further, but stopped herself. Thinking of what Saya had done for her, she felt that asking such a question would be pointless. What could better demonstrate Saya's attitude than actions? Wasn't his act of rushing into hell to save her enough to answer her question?

"Huh? Don't you dare leave things unsaid?"

Saya wanted to hear what other questions she had, but Amakawa Tsubasa stopped halfway through her story, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to know, Saya-kun, would you mind adding 'girl' to the title of 'friend'? I wouldn't mind at all." After saying this, which was almost a confession, Amakawa Tsubasa looked at Saya seriously. Even knowing that he would definitely reject her, she still wanted to try.

"Girlfriend?" Sōyū stammered. This term felt somewhat distant to him; he hadn't had much contact with girls before, only seeing it in novels and manga, and always other people's. But judging from Amakawa Tsubasa's expression, it seemed as if she would really agree to his request and confirm their relationship if he asked.

But when it really came down to this, Saiyu didn't know why he chickened out. He clearly felt good about getting along with Amakawa Tsubasa, and she even had all of Saiyu's strengths in looks and personality, but the "yes" that was stuck in Saiyu's mouth just wouldn't come out.

"Just kidding, I meant female friends, and in a mutually beneficial way. For example, I need to use this identity to move into your house, Saya-kun." Seeing Saya's conflicted expression, Amakawa Tsubasa already knew what was going on. His hesitation meant he definitely had some feelings for her, but it also proved her strategy wasn't thorough enough. Amakawa Tsubasa didn't want to force him into a relationship before he even understood his own feelings. What she longed for was the day Saya, this straight-laced guy, would confess his feelings to her.

Furthermore, even if she insisted now, the indecisive Saya probably wouldn't agree. Given his personality, he would never rashly agree to something without being certain he truly liked someone. Being overly gentle in matters of the heart isn't always a good thing. Therefore, having already known what she wanted to know, Amakawa Tsubasa decisively gave Saya and herself a way out, directly brushing aside the previous question.

"Using or something like that is a bit too utilitarian. To be honest, wouldn't it be better to say we help each other? I'd be happy to help you if I could."

Saya, who hadn't known how to answer Amakawa Tsubasa's question, breathed a sigh of relief and volunteered to go into Kaguya's room to help her unpack.

Physical labor really suits him better; dealing with girls is just too tiring. He just wanted to apologize, he never expected to have to answer such a question!

However, as soon as Saya entered Amakawa Tsubasa's room, he saw the cat, seemingly deliberately making things difficult for him, pick up a black, hemispherical piece of clothing with lace trim and walk up to him, as if reminding him to put it away. Was this bespectacled girl... just now, she wasn't wearing anything?

Chapter 305 Can I Join?

Kaguya had always believed that she had basically figured out Saya's ways. At least when it came to matters of the heart, she felt she had him completely.

But the truth is, Saya's actions, delivered with utmost sincerity, slapped her in the face. She only rested for a short while, having dinner, when Saya ran out and brought the girl with glasses back, carrying a whole bunch of luggage.

And a cat. Is she really planning to move in as the lady of the house? She's even brought her pet?

"As a tenant in your house, Saya-kun, I feel I have a good reason to ask you—how come you were so eager to welcome outsiders in on your very first day at your new place?"

Suppressing her hostility towards Amakawa Tsubasa, Kaguya carefully crafted her words and asked Wakasaya.

Let's not even talk about his adopted sister. If we go by timeline, she could indeed be considered to be ahead of him. Moreover, Sasuke only sees her as family, and any feelings he has for her are limited to familial affection.

But this guy in front of her, in every sense of the word, can hardly be considered his family. With that eagerness to pack her bags and move in, it's hard to believe she has no feelings for Sawa!

"Actually, it's nothing. After all, I already promised her, and my house is quite big. It would be lively living together, and it would also make it easier for me to take care of her safety."

Sōyu scratched his head. Well, Amakawa Tsubasa was one of the people he had the closest contact with. If anyone really wanted to target him, then besides Kaguya, this guy was the most dangerous.

Although the Barrier Cat was once considered a strange creature, it would be a bit too much to expect it to protect Amakawa Tsubasa from the group of people that Saya has offended.

But he couldn't just leave it unattended, so taking it in was the best solution that Sawa could think of.

"Yes, Kaguya-san, logically speaking, we are equals now. Why can you live here, but I can't? This is Saya-san's home, and you don't have any special privileges, do you?" Amakawa Tsubasa wasn't one to be easily swayed. When Kaguya questioned her, she directly replied with a smile, and her meaning was very clear. To put it simply...

Who are you talking about?

It's a bit cheesy, but that's roughly the gist of it.

"Of course I don't have any special privileges, but the reason I live here is to fulfill my promise to Saya-kun, unlike someone who shamelessly begs him to let you in, right?" Kaguya's originally flat chest was almost swelling with anger at her words, but in a sense she was right, and she quickly retorted sarcastically after being rebuked.

"Ayou, what's going on with them? Are they going to fight? If they win, can they sleep with you tonight?" Almost the moment Zuoyou returned, Zuomo came up behind him and grabbed his clothes. She had been dressed in a cute black bear pajama by either Lingxian or the two mechanical maids. She looked at Kaguya and Amakawa Tsubasa in front of her with a puzzled look and asked Zuoyou.

"If so, can I join?"

The sunglasses the girl wore couldn't hide the expectant light in her red eyes. After blinking twice, she asked Saya.

"Where did you deduce this conclusion from? And please, stop stirring up trouble. Don't learn anything from these two, okay?"

Sōyū helplessly pressed her little face down and hid her behind his back. She shouldn't learn these things at such a young age, and it would be best if she didn't even look at them.

"Qin? Okay then. I'll listen to Ayou. See if we can go tonight?" (A slightly disappointed look on her face) Zuo Mo pitifully tugged at Zuo You's hands, shaking them. Zuo You knew what she meant without her saying anything more. Before Zuo You could speak, the two female voices answered the question in unison. Then, they exchanged a knowing glance and turned away. Yu Chuan Yi and Kaguya were just teasing each other; they wouldn't completely ignore what happened to Zuo You.

"Also, Sawa-kun, aren't you going to introduce this girl over here? When did you get such a close, um, younger sister?"

Amakawa Tsubasa narrowed her eyes. She didn't directly misunderstand Saya. Judging from his attitude towards the girl, she deduced that Saya seemed to treat her more like family, and quickly came to her conclusion. But the problem was that the way this girl looked at Saya didn't seem like she was looking at her older brother. That pure and naked possessiveness didn't seem like she only saw him as family.

"Oh, this is my younger sister, Zuo Mo. You'll need to help teach her some basic life skills. Just treat her like a country girl who doesn't know anything."

Sōyū briefly introduced Sōmo to Yūka. In terms of common sense, Yūka, the class monitor, was the only person he trusted. After all, she used to be abnormally normal, making her the most qualified to teach his younger sister. As for himself, Sōyū was well aware of his own bad habits. Sōmo's current state was at least half due to what he learned from Ruō in the Minecraft world. As for Kaguya, needless to say, while she was good in other ways, her spoiled princess temperament and behavior were not something Sōyū liked. Not to mention her willful personality; if Sōmo picked that up, wouldn't it ruin her life?

"Me, teach her? Are you sure?" Amakawa Tsubasa sized up the girl who was clearly avoiding his gaze, as if she had social anxiety. She seemed to be clinging to Saya. If he wanted her to teach this girl, why didn't he just take her to school?

"Hmm? Is there a problem?"

Sōyū thought Amakawa Tsubasa was unwilling, so he could only press for an answer.

"She means why you didn't take her to school. I think Ms. Huiyin certainly wouldn't mind having another transfer student in the class. Regarding Zuo Mo, Kaguya's thoughts are similar to Amakawa Tsubasa's, and Kaguya even knows more than her. This seemingly harmless girl is the one she fears most."

You should know that this girl was the first girl to meet Saya; if you were to say they were childhood sweethearts, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

And judging from the extent of Sō's concern for her, it's clear that he considers her extremely important. If he doesn't keep an eye on things, who knows when Sō might fall for her.

Chapter 306 You won't bring one back again, will you?

"Does she look like someone who can go to school right now? Of course, she should learn the most basic common sense at home first, and then go to school to cause trouble for the teachers, right?" Zuoyou pointed to the girl behind him who looked like she had no ambition. Of course, he knew that when it came to girls like this who weren't even mentally sound, it was best to leave them to Huiyin, who was best at this kind of thing.

Firstly, he wasn't very familiar with Huiyin. Secondly, Zuo Mo was a person with aggressive tendencies. Before giving her the most basic common sense about living here, Zuo You didn't plan to let her come into contact with too many people.

"Didn't the class monitor keep saying he'd pay my rent and stuff? This could be a good way to make up for it by having my sister as a tutor. Is that okay?"

Saya could discipline this girl himself, but that would free up even less of his time. The brewery had released a bunch of strange entities, and he'd have to clean up their messes. Amakawa Tsubasa initially wanted to refuse, but then she realized that if she didn't agree, Saya would have to discipline her personally, which would just be giving the two of them some alone time.

Upon realizing this, Yuchuan Yi instantly understood. He could only nod with a resigned smile, which was considered an agreement.

"Leave it to me, little sister Zuo Mo. I hope we can get along well in the future." whl greeted the girl hiding behind Zuo Yu. If this girl didn't also have feelings for Zuo Yu, her status as Zuo Yu's sister would actually be something Amakawa Tsubasa would try to win over. It's just a pity.

"I wish you could treat Kaguya like this someday." Saya muttered under his breath, but Kaguya couldn't pretend she didn't hear him. She raised her eyebrows, stood next to Saya, and pinched his waist hard before looking at him arrogantly.

Are you implying that I'm difficult to get along with?

"No, no, absolutely not. Anyway, you all go about your business now. I have some things to take care of. See you tomorrow, okay?"

Zuo You hurriedly shook his head. He didn't mean that at all. Rather, he was already getting annoyed by being around these three girls. All he wanted to do right now was escape from here. Everything else was negotiable.

"Are you going out again?" Zuoyou's words immediately made all three girls turn to look at him. It was almost midnight, what was he going out for? Did he have some girls he was going to pick up and bring home to stay with him?

"Yeah, that's right. This is the time when the supernatural is active. A bunch of supernatural beings have run off to the brewery. If I don't go help clean up the mess now, the whole of Tokyo will probably be in chaos." Saya shrugged. He was doing something important, so these guys had no reason to stop him, right? After hearing his explanation, Kaguya and the other two's puzzled expressions improved, but after exchanging glances, they still called out to Saya, who was about to leave.

"Are you sure you won't bring any other girls back? There are so many rooms in this house, you're not going to fill them all, are you?" Kaguya was the most direct, asking Saya directly, thus expressing the thoughts of the other two.

"Huh? Do you think I'm a scavenger? I don't have the habit of picking up people. Your imagination is a bit too rich. I suggest you get some rest."

Sōyū looked at Kaguya with suspicion. How did she come to such a conclusion? He didn't know that many girls. And those girls wouldn't want to come and share an apartment with him.

As for picking up pretty girls, wasn't Kaguya the one he picked up himself? What kind of person does she take him for?

"Then it's nothing, I was just saying. Um... also, be careful." Kaguya felt a little embarrassed by Saya's rebuttal, realizing she had misunderstood him. She could only lower her head, remind him, and then headed to her room. She had to go on a date with this guy tomorrow, and since he said it was nothing, instead of getting along with the other two girls, she should think about what to wear.

"Where are you two? What do you want to ask? Okay? Stop looking at me like that, especially you, Zuo Mo. Don't come with me tonight! You hear me?!" Turning back to the other two, Zuo You pointed at them, lingering particularly on Zuo Mo for a long time. The girl let out a wronged groan; her little scheme exposed, she stomped her foot and vanished in a cloud of cherry blossom-like particles. The remaining one, Yu Chuan Yi, walked to Zuo You's side with a gentle smile, straightening his collar like a newlywed wife before quietly whispering something to him.

"Come back soon." Saya seemed a little flustered by her attitude, and could only nod before fleeing as if running away, disappearing into the night. Amakawa Tsubasa stood there, staring in the direction Saya had left for a long time before turning around and dragging her luggage into the room Saya had arranged for her.

"Those two aren't very strong, meow. If you use some tricks and schemes, you're sure to win, meow." The stalker cat, Kuro Amakawa, followed behind her and jumped onto Amakawa Tsubasa's shoulder, gently licking its paws as it spoke to her.

"If that's really what you think, then it means you still haven't figured out that guy's personality. With his alien-like emotional intelligence, using tricks would only backfire." Yu Chuan Yi just shook her head. Of course, she knew what Zhang Mao meant, and if possible, she wouldn't refuse to use some of the little tricks and methods that girls have.

But Sōyū's thought process is completely different from normal people. Who knows what unique thoughts and opinions he has about relationships? If she accidentally guesses a sensitive topic, Yūkawa Tsubasa doesn't want to fall into endless regret like she did just now. Besides, she doesn't think she's inferior to the other two in terms of ability alone. There's a long road ahead; who knows who will be able to overcome this tough nut?

"This is such a hassle, meow. If it were me, I would have already pounced on him and pushed him down, meow. Knowing his personality, he definitely wouldn't back down then, meow." whl雨川 shook its head. Just as 雨川翼 said, it was just a cat; how could it truly understand what a complex human heart was thinking?

"That's why he subdued you so easily, isn't it?"

Chapter 307 He immediately made another appointment after leaving.

Before searching for the anomalies, Saya decided to meet up with a companion first. He sent a text message and then sat down on a bench in a relatively quiet park for a short rest. This wasn't an excuse to avoid his girlfriends at home; rather, searching for anomalies alone would be quite troublesome without his companion. Tokyo isn't a huge city, but it's not small either, not to mention its terrifyingly dense population. Even if an anomaly were thrown into it, it would be like a stone sinking into the sea—searching for it alone would be exhausting, and Saya wouldn't choose such a thankless task. Therefore, finding a strong helper to replace the map became Saya's immediate problem. Fortunately, the person Saya had arranged to meet shared the same goal—to eliminate anomalies—so she had no reason to refuse his invitation.

"I don't know if this counts as asking a girl out late at night. If it does, then I'm really a jerk."

Saya scratched his head and made a self-deprecating joke, a slight smile playing on his lips. If Kaguya and the others knew this, they'd criticize him again.

"So you had that thought too? Too bad Asami-chan wouldn't think that far ahead."

A cat-like creature peeked out from behind Saya, but its white wings betrayed that it was no ordinary small animal.

"However, if you flatter me, Master Keroberos, I wouldn't mind putting in a good word for you with Mami and giving you that opportunity in the first place." The strange creature named Keroberos waved its little paws twice in front of Saya and said to him.
