Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Well, things like this are not allowed either."

Yuukawa Tsubasa, who had only intended to tease Saya and see his flustered state, almost fell for him herself. If it weren't for the sudden gust of cold wind from the Sanzu River that brought her back to her senses, she felt like she would have actually kissed Saya on the lips.

But when he saw Saya's completely blank eyes and stiff movements at the crucial moment, for some reason, Kawatori, who was only one step away from winning ownership of this guy, suddenly stopped again.

As expected, doing it this way didn't give her the feeling she was looking forward to. Rather than relying on such a direct victory, she still hoped that one day, Saya would take the initiative to come up to her and personally tell her that he liked her.

Furthermore, if he were to establish a relationship with Saya now in such a muddled way, while he would absolutely not have any irresponsible thoughts, it would inevitably lead to problems in the future because of this.

From a long-term perspective, this is clearly not feasible.

If you're going to win, you have to win completely.

Thinking this, Amakawa Tsubasa decisively stopped what she was doing. After affectionately touching foreheads and rubbing noses with Saya, she playfully picked up a piece of rice with her chopsticks and brought it to Saya's mouth.

"Feeding each other is not allowed at school, Zuoyou-kun. Don't you think the teachers at school are a bit too old-fashioned?"

With a flushed face, Yu Chuanyi turned her head away and awkwardly changed the subject, her words tinged with a hint of panic.

But that was enough to awaken Saya's consciousness. Awakening from the system crash, Saya instinctively bit into the rice that Amakawa Tsubasa had placed in front of him, not even forgetting...

So she didn't want to kiss him after all. What kind of crazy thoughts were she having? She almost even thought about whether to give her daughter a neon-themed name or name her like "Zuo Xiao X". Zuoyou shook his head and dismissed those strange ideas.

Actually, in our area, people of this age aren't even allowed to date.

Awkwardly, Sawa could only make up a topic to get through the situation. After chewing the rice in his mouth a couple of times, he said, but he inexplicably tasted a sweet flavor that didn't belong to rice. He could only look at the chopsticks that Amakawa Tsubasa was holding with a puzzled expression.

Like Saya, Amakawa Tsubasa didn't think too much about it. After taking her chopsticks back from Saya's side, she picked up a piece of beef, chewed it in her mouth, and then bit the tip of her chopsticks and said to Saya.

But when she turned her head, she saw Sōyu staring intently at the chopsticks she was biting in her little mouth, and his evasive eyes that seemed to want to remind her but dared not.

Looking down at the chopsticks that Saya was looking at, Amakawa Tsubasa suddenly realized that Saya had smacked his lips when he ate the rice that Amakawa had just picked up for him, and his face flushed red.

"Ah, this, um~ no, it's okay..." Halfway through her sentence, Amakawa Tsubasa lowered her head, feeling too embarrassed to continue, a blush creeping up her neck. Just moments ago, when she was teasing Saya, she seemed like a seasoned pro, but now, in this situation—which was essentially just an indirect, light kiss—Amakawa Tsubasa couldn't suppress the overwhelming shame.

The thought of Amakawa Tsubasa foolishly biting the spot on the chopsticks that Saya had sipped on just now made her want to find a cave to crawl into in order to feel better.

Why didn't he remind himself of this? Now we can't even have a normal conversation anymore!

Despite saying that, Amakawa Tsubasa, feeling a strange sweetness, unconsciously licked her lips from an angle that Saya couldn't see. Surprisingly, Saya's taste wasn't unpleasant at all.

Chapter 350 Do you have someone you like?

Because of the awkward atmosphere, Tsubasa Amakawa had to give up asking any more questions about Saya's secrets, but she didn't think there was anything particularly wrong with it.

As long as one can get closer to Saya's concern, what the two of them do or say is irrelevant.

"Well, actually, just treat me like a normal, ordinary person. At most, I have some personal hobbies, but I'm not really anything weird."

Saya turned his head completely away, staring intently at the Sanzu River that seemed to flow forever before speaking.

"Um, but if I have any questions about you, Saya-kun, can I ask you anytime? Do I deserve that right? I feel..."

"Of course I do! We're friends, you know. Look, I've already fulfilled your request for what you told me today."

Sōyu nodded decisively. In most cases, he had nothing to hide from Amakawa Tsubasa if she wanted to ask a question.

"You said it yourself. Now, I have one last question for you, which is the one thing I care about most right now. I just don't know if you, Zuoyou, will answer me."

Amakawa Tsubasa tucked her long hair, which fell to her chest, into her fingers and kept fiddling with it as she spoke.

"Then ask away, I'll try my best to answer everything I know."

Sawa was surprised that Amakawa Tsubasa cared so much about him, and even had questions that could only be asked in front of him, which caught his attention.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be any different from ordinary people, so what else could she possibly ask?

"It's actually very simple, Saya-kun. You don't even need to speak. You can answer me just by nodding or shaking your head."

Amakawa Tsubasa narrowed his beautiful eyes, his face filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"So, Saya-kun, do you have a girl you like right now?" The tone was as if she were asking Saya what he had for lunch. If it weren't for her nervously twirling fingers that betrayed her feelings, Saya would have thought she was just asking casually.

"Huh? Why are you asking this?"

Sōyū turned his head with a puzzled look on his face and asked the girl in front of him with an indescribable expression.

Why is she bothered with her own relationship problems? Does he act like a guy in love?

"Saya-kun, you clearly promised me you'd only answer yes or no, so why do you care why I asked this?"

"That means no, and I don't have that idea for now. I'm not at the age where I need to find a girlfriend to survive. I'm doing just fine on my own right now."

Upon hearing this, Zuoyou firmly shook his head. He really had no such thoughts right now. It would be too unprepared to start dating when he couldn't even take care of his retirement.

Sawa, who believed that love required long-term preparation, never even considered becoming lovers with that girl. Just the thought of a woman constantly clinging to him, wanting to go here and there, made him feel anxious.

Of course, the main problem is that while Sawa has a South American perspective that's not much different from most people—he might admire pretty girls—he's never experienced love at first sight. All vulgar expressions of love at first sight can be called lust at first sight, and while Sawa doesn't want to accept that, he has to admit there's some truth to it.

"The most important thing is that I have too many things on my plate right now. It's actually a good thing that I don't have anyone I like, so that I won't drag her into this dangerous situation I'm in now."

Sawa shrugged and added another sentence.

"Another reason is, to put it simply, women only affect the speed of my punches. The faster a woman throws a punch, the more unstoppable her momentum becomes."

"Huh? So, does that mean you, Saya-kun, not only don't have a girlfriend, but you don't even want to find one?"

Amakawa Tsubasa tilted her head, looking somewhat troubled, and asked Saya. whl

The fact that he didn't have a girlfriend made her very happy, but his next statement was another matter entirely. Not having one was one thing, but not wanting to find one was quite another. Didn't that completely eliminate any chance for her?

"I'd say that's how it is for now. We need to finish dealing with Kaguya's matter and then clean up those guys from the Church of Truth. That way, I won't have too many enemies. Finding more would be a good thing for both me and her, wouldn't it?"

Sōyū explained earnestly, while also scooping the leftover food from the table into his own bowl and slowly finishing it.

"What if that woman didn't care about these things? What would you think then?"

Amakawa Tsubasa blurted out the question to Saya, practically saying, "I don't mind."

"Well, you're not that woman, how do you know she won't mind? Besides, even if she doesn't mind, I do. When it comes to finding a girlfriend, I can't guarantee she'll be 100% comfortable with it."

In this regard, Sawa's face was full of seriousness, completely revealing his steely, straight-man mentality.

"Well, never mind, I can't explain it to you anyway. All I can say is that you really don't understand girls' feelings at all. Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to."

With a helpless sigh, Yu Chuanyi looked at Saya's determined expression. Not knowing whether to laugh or show him another expression, she could only pat his shoulder and say to him in an indescribable tone.

"Deceive? Did I? But I was only thinking this way because I wanted what was best for the other person."

Sōyu scratched his head in confusion. Had he said something wrong? Girls really are the most unpredictable creatures in the world.

Chapter 351 Awakened by the Sour Smell

The candlelight dinner, which made Saya feel like his head was about to explode, ended with him and Amakawa Tsubasa staring at each other in bewilderment. Fortunately, the two of them were only a little confused with each other and did not start arguing about it.

To be honest, Saya, who had a good meal, was quite satisfied with it. As for Amakawa Tsubasa, putting aside Saya's final point about not wanting to find a girlfriend, he was naturally quite satisfied with everything else.

Being able to be alone with the two of them was something that inexplicably made her happy. As for what Zuoyou said at the end, she thought about it again and realized that he had only said that he didn't want to for the time being, which didn't mean that he wouldn't want to in the future. As long as her attack power was high enough, she wasn't afraid of not being able to break through this guy's defense.

Having figured things out, Amakawa Tsubasa's face regained its smile. At least she had confirmed that Saya hadn't been taken down by anyone else, and her mood gradually improved.

Next time, I'll take advantage of this situation to find out what kind of girl he likes. Knowing your enemy is the key to success. To deal with this kind of clueless guy, you naturally have to attack his weaknesses.

Amakawa Tsubasa, who had even planned for the future, turned to look at Saya, who was packing the remaining tableware and things into his backpack. With her back to the Sanzu River, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, like when she was watching her own man wash dishes and do housework, bathed in the red light of the red spider lilies covering the ground.

Perhaps this is what she had always hoped for: not needing her family to shower her with attention every day or anything like that, just being able to occasionally share a meal and talk like this.

Or perhaps this is what a true family should look like in her heart.

But now that she thinks about it, she'll have to put in a lot of effort to turn this simpleton into family.

Amakawa Tsubasa sat obediently in his seat, watching Saya's not-so-busy figure until he finished his work and came over. Only then did he slightly shift his gaze and focus it on Saya's puzzled eyes.

"Why are you staring at me? I'm just clearing away the dishes. Or is there something else you want to ask me?"

Sawa glanced down at himself, noticing he hadn't gotten anything strange on him. He looked at Amakawa Tsubasa with a puzzled expression, completely baffled by her behavior.

"No, it's just that you look exceptionally handsome like this, Saya-kun."

Without any hesitation, Amakawa Tsubasa expressed her opinion on Saya, and she had no reason to hesitate about praising him.

"If you say that men who drive are handsome, that's fine, or if you say that I'm handsome when I'm fighting, I can understand that too. But if you think I'm handsome when I'm clearing the table, I can only suggest that you go to restaurants more often when you have time, there are plenty of waiters there."

Sōyū muttered a complaint under his breath, and only after freezing Amakawa Tsubasa's smile on his lips did he realize that he might have said the wrong thing.

Amakawa Tsubasa sighed. Was this guy really not deliberately messing with his own mentality?

"Well, you know it was a joke, right? Now that the evening supervisor is all settled, do you need me to take you home? Or could you stay at Komachi's for a while? I need to talk to Shiki about something."

After decisively changing the subject, Saya pointed to the small wooden house he had deliberately built for Komachi to slack off in the distance.

"Is Saya in trouble again?"

Putting aside his intention to joke with Saya, he looked at Amakawa Tsubasa with some concern and asked her.

"It is a little troublesome, but it's not something that's particularly bothering me. It's mainly because I'm not familiar with it. You don't need to worry. Don't you trust me in this kind of thing?"

Zuoyou patted his chest and said to her with a confident expression.

"Then I'll wait for you in your room. Staying here might actually hinder your interaction with them, wouldn't it?"

Amakawa Tsubasa was still able to distinguish between primary and secondary matters. Knowing that she could only hinder Saya here, she decisively chose to return to the main world from Hell first.

"Alright then, you can go back and get some rest. I'll let you know when I get back. Also, if Zuo Mo wakes up, remember to remind her to stay put and not let me know she's wandering off."

After giving Amakawa Tsubasa some instructions, Saya waved to her as she entered the Gates of Hell. Only after she disappeared from the entrance of the Gates of Hell did he turn his head away.

Saya stretched and headed toward Komachi's room. Before he could knock, the busty girl who was supposed to be lying down and sleeping opened the door first.

Come in.

The girl who yawned seemed to have become somewhat cold towards Sawa, and to be honest, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes as she looked at him.

"You weren't sleeping?"

What Saya found most unbelievable was that she actually managed to have a day when she didn't slack off and go to sleep; that was truly rare.

The girl glared at Saya and then angrily explained why she was so upset. Just looking at Saya made her angry, and all she wanted to do was kick his butt.

What does this guy think Hell is? A dating hotspot or a womanizing paradise? Does he really think Hell is his home?
