Don't force me to use my right fist.

Komachi raised an eyebrow at Saya, gesturing for him to come closer and talk.

"My instincts tell me that this idea of ​​yours must be pretty bad."

Sōyū's lips twitched, but he still leaned closer.

"Qi, how can you say that? I'm only doing this for your own good!"

Komachi leaned close to Saya's ear and whispered her plan.

Shiki only stated that she had no reason to help Sawa, but if the other party dared to break her rules, Komachi didn't think her little girl would be so easy to talk to.

No one knew better than her that although Shiki seemed to be the most selfless type, she was actually extremely protective of her own.

"Your idea is really terrible."

Saya covered her face and sighed. Wasn't this a blatant attempt to shift the blame? How could this girl be so adept at tricking Shiki? Or had she been planning some kind of revenge against Shiki all along?

"This is just a suggestion, a suggestion, can't you just consider it a last resort?" wh

Komachi shrugged, giving the impression that she was just joking.

"I appreciate your kindness, and I might consider it if I were desperate, but for now I think it's best to go back and rest as soon as possible."

After glancing at the green-haired girl who had appeared behind Komachi at some point and was tapping the Sea Witch Staff in her palm, Saya politely said goodbye to Komachi and then walked towards the Gates of Hell.

This girl truly didn't understand. With Four Seasons' abilities, how could they possibly escape her surveillance as long as they remained within the Old Hell's territory? Her so-called whispered words were nothing more than self-deception.

Saya, who could already foresee that she would be severely beaten by Shiki, sighed and prayed for the girl as he returned to his basement through the Gates of Hell.

It seemed that Amakawa Tsubasa wasn't waiting for him in his room. After returning to his room from the basement, Saya was pushed onto the bed by a figure that burst in.

Despite his complaints, Zuoyou's face showed a doting expression as he reached out and ruffled Zuomo's pure black head.

With a wronged expression, Zuo Mo nudged Zuo You's chest with her little head, like a spoiled child, and whispered to him in a coquettish tone.

"Let's put that aside for now. I need your help with something I want to get. Pearl, come out."

"Are you going to fake cry again? I can't muster that emotion right now."

Zuo Mo looked a little embarrassed. After thinking it over, the only thing Zuo You wanted to get from her was the Ender Pearl.

Zuoyou himself didn't know what Zuomo's true nature was. Although she looked like a two-block-tall black creature in that world, only with different eye colors, Zuoyou had never heard of her tears turning into Ender Pearls.

However, while he had plenty of ways to make this guy laugh, he was at a loss when it came to making him cry.

Logically speaking, it should be easy to make a girl cry, but Zuoyou couldn't bear to see her really sad, so he usually chose to get this thing from other Endermen. But unfortunately, she was the only one in this world. Fortunately, it had a similar effect to mermaid tears turning into pearls, and it didn't require tears produced under specific sad emotions to be effective.

"How about we try onions?"

Sawa scratched his face and came up with a clever trick.

The effect will definitely be good, but I'm a little worried about whether Zuo Mo will be willing.

Chapter 355 Compromise

The physical tear-inducing effect was even better than Zuoyou had expected. After Zuomo agreed to his request, he went to the kitchen to chop less than half an onion and then came out carrying two sets of twelve Ender Pearls.

Her eyes were completely red, and with that pitiful little expression, Zuoyou almost thought he had accidentally bullied her at some point.

Fortunately, Zuo Mo was surprisingly generous in this regard. She simply stuffed the things, along with herself, into Zuo You's arms, looking at him with expectant eyes, hoping for his praise. Time made it difficult for Zuo You to push her away.

"I guess this counts as me doing Ayou a huge favor, right?"

Even through her sunglasses, you could see the tears welling up in her eyes, which had just been crying. She even managed to take off her glasses a little bit, despite feeling ashamed, so that Saya could see how hard she was trying.

Even the finest rubies couldn't describe how crystal clear those red eyes were; Zuoyou was almost completely mesmerized by them after just one glance.

"Yeah, Zuo Mo, you're awesome. With these, it will be much easier for me to do many things in the future."

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Zuoyou patted Zuomo's head, praising her generously while also ruffling her long, smooth hair.

"Then, can I make a small request to Ayou, something that's easy to do?"

With her slender fingers making a dot gesture, Zuo Mo snuggled even closer into Zuo You's arms.

"A request? Don't tell me it's about wanting you to come to school with me tomorrow. It's not that I won't take you, but look at how clingy you are right now, do you think you can settle down and behave properly at school?"

Sōyū's head started to ache. If she had any requests, they would definitely be about sticking to him. She had a habit of wanting to be his pendant 24/7, hanging behind him. It was an old habit of hers.

"Hmm, I, I can keep going. It's just that I won't hug you, Ayou. I can just stay behind you and not say anything."

As if making an extremely difficult decision, Zuo Mo resolutely released her arms from Zuo You's embrace, stood before him, and proved to him that her will was unwavering.

"Do you think a student can wear a mask and glasses to school all the time?" Zuoyou didn't expect that after a day she would actually know what self-control meant, but she still couldn't help but remind her of one of the most crucial questions.

She's not a fugitive, so why would anyone allow her to dress like this at school? It's understandable once or twice, but dressing like this all the time will only make people more curious.

"Why not?"

Looking at her so self-righteous, Zuoyou didn't even have the thought of answering her for a moment.

She lacks even the most basic common sense. If she were to bring this to school, who knows what trouble it might cause? Saya really doesn't want to do that.

"In short, it's a lot of trouble. Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed home obediently?" whl

Sōyū looked at the girl with a troubled expression. There was nothing wrong with her clinging to him, but in this world, there were many things to be careful about if he wanted to survive.

"No, Wan Ayou, what am I going to do if you abandon me again? Last time you just told me to stay home and wait obediently."

The girl, who had suddenly become surprisingly resolute in this regard, decisively shook her head. Unable to resist, she hugged Sōyō again, grabbing his waist as if afraid he would ruthlessly throw her away at any moment.

Zuoyou, at a loss, placed his hand on the girl's shoulder. He couldn't even bear to push her away, and for a moment he was completely helpless.

"In short, I just don't want to leave Ayou. That's all I can do."

From an angle unseen by Sōyū, a flash of crimson light suddenly appeared in Sōmo's eyes, before quickly returning to normal.

Completely oblivious to this, Saya could only grimace and sigh in frustration. After much deliberation, he finally gave a resigned sigh.

"I guess I'm scared of you. Fine, I'll take you there."

He was already a little uneasy about leaving her alone at home with only two mechanical maids, and with her causing such a scene, Sōyū was even more worried about forcibly leaving her alone at home.

You have to understand that this thing is an Enderman. If she wants to run away, there's really nowhere that can hold her back. In other words, even if Zuoyou wants to keep her here, it can only be if she's willing to do so.

Rather than letting her cause trouble by potentially following us at any time, it's better to take her along.

"Really? You said you never lie."

Zuo Mo hadn't expected that Zuo You, who was usually so decisive, would actually compromise. Her face was beaming with joy, and she almost jumped up and down in Zuo You's arms.

"Yes, I'll take you there, but you can't go to class yet. While I'm teaching, you need to stay in the student council and continue studying diligently. That's what 'regular' means." Because of Ye's influence, taking her to the student council room shouldn't be a problem.

Then, if he were to ask a certain white-haired teacher for help, then this person—who can't really be called a bear, but rather a bit willful—would have someone who can handle her. But then he'd have to ask Kaguya for help again, and tomorrow he'd have to go find Keine to explain things. Just thinking about it gave Saya a headache.

"Hmm, can't I just keep following Ayou?"

Zuo Mo still seemed somewhat unsatisfied, shaking Zuo You's arm. If possible, she would definitely prefer to stay by his side 24/7.

"You should be content. I'll come find you after class. If you really want to be a student like me, then you'll have to study hard and learn the basics of surviving in this world."

Zuo You tapped Zuo Mo on the head, rolled his eyes, and then said to her, "She doesn't know how troublesome this is for him, does she?"

Chapter 356 Too Enthusiastic

By the time Saya explained to Kaguya that he might need to take Samo to school the next day, it was almost midnight.

Of course, he was often looked at with resentful eyes by Kaguya during this time.

It was one thing to bring Amakawa Tsubasa along, but now he's adding another one? Why didn't he just invite all the girls he knows? Kaguya's car can usually fit that many people, but that's no excuse for him to just randomly bring so many people along.

Kaguya, knowing that Saya didn't actually have any ulterior motives, could only sigh and then agree to his request.

There was no other way; her safety depended on this guy. No matter how many people he brought, as long as he didn't abandon her, Kaguya felt she had little reason to refuse.

In addition, Zuo Mo was only taking him to the student council room, so there was no need for her to help him get a transfer student spot.

However, even a fool could see that it was only a matter of time before Kaguya realized that Saya was so concerned about his adopted sister that it was impossible for him to stop bringing her to school.

Kaguya, who had already instructed Reisen to help forge Zuo Mo's approximate identity information and background, shook her head helplessly as Zuo You swaggered out of her room.

I wish he could treat her like that and care about her like that someday.

As Saya turned to leave, he was unaware of the troubles Kaguya had gone through for him. It was indeed getting late, and he didn't even feel like calling Yamami along to go find a few more strange troublemakers. So he lay down peacefully on his bed.

Saya believes that nothing is more comforting than snuggling comfortably in bed after a long day.

Sawa fell into a deep sleep at lightning speed. When he opened his eyes again, he didn't see the familiar ceiling.

No, it should be said that there wasn't even a ceiling, just a pitch-black night sky where no light could be seen.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't see the iconic sea of ​​spider lilies nearby, Zuoyou would have thought that he had just taken a nap and been dragged to hell.

"Could it be that I'm dreaming?"

Sōyū stretched his arms. Logically speaking, blocky people shouldn't have the option of dreaming. Once their heads touch the pillow, the only option is to sleep. With their eyes closed and open, they will wake up precisely at six o'clock the next morning.

However, upon seeing this vast, dark space—a boundless expanse seemingly inhabited only by him—Saya had to confirm this. And when he saw that mass of flesh in the corner, writhing like octopus tentacles as if it had committed some wrongdoing, Saiyu roughly understood what it was.

It seems like he hasn't been interacting with that green-haired girl much lately. Is she lonely again? Does she want to come and chat with him? Having guessed some of the possibilities, Zuoyou scratched his head and walked towards the monster who looked terrifying, yet he always felt like she was avoiding him.

"If you feel lonely, you can just call me, text me, or even come to me directly. Why do you have to do this in a dream? It's just too much of a hassle."

Sawa stood in front of the lump of flesh, whether out of shyness or fear, and found that its curled-up shape not only lost its terrifying feeling, but was also strangely cute. Sawa reached out and poked its elastic body with his finger, saying...

To think that he could find such a monster with a K-pop vibe cute, Saku felt that either something was wrong with South America, or his sanity had dropped to a certain level.

The lump of flesh seemed to have been caught off guard by Saya's approach. After being poked by Saya, it curled up even more tightly towards the center, even shrinking its waving tentacles into round balls, looking rather comical.

"You pulled me over here but haven't said anything. Do you expect me to guess what's going on?"

Sighing, Saya helplessly reached out and touched the fleshy mass, which was probably on its head. He couldn't figure out why it had dragged him here, and all he wanted now was to go back to sleep.

But the fleshy mass that was clearly his cute deskmate remained silent, only the soft flesh he was stroking kept wriggling, as if it was enjoying his action.

"Sweetie, just say what's on your mind. If there's nothing wrong, I can go back. I wouldn't say I hate you, but there's something just off about you."

Saya coaxed this creature, who seemed to have no connection to humanity whatsoever, like a child. Knowing that it was only somewhat terrifying in appearance and that its heart was no different from hers, she naturally didn't find it repulsive. Whether it was because it couldn't speak in this form or because it simply couldn't speak at all, the fleshy mass seemed to understand Saya's words, decisively extending its curled-up tentacles and instantly pulling Saya towards itself like a pillow.

This action is just like a child who doesn't want to lose something they love, and because they don't know how to speak, they can only express their emotions through actions.
