Don't force me to use my right fist.

The bespectacled girl, who hadn't said a word, winked innocently at her and even casually linked her arm with Saya's.

"Am I too late? You have no idea, I had a really dangerous and interesting experience before, the kind that could be written into a novel."

Saku still couldn't figure out why Kaguya was unhappy. He had clearly arrived on time to save her from danger, so why did she look so upset?

"Phew~ Never mind, it's good that you're back. Anyway, it's good that you're here. Thank you, thank you."

Kaguya's previously explosive attitude, like a lit powder keg about to explode, suddenly softened after Saiyu brought it up.

For Saya to mention something so dangerous, it means he may have encountered a very serious problem during the few hours he was missing.

Even so, just as he had promised her, he stood in front of her the moment she was in danger, protecting her once again.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if there were no other people with you.

"I'll talk to you about payment when we get back, but for now, I think you two should put some distance between you two, okay?" Having calmed down, Kaguya forcefully pulled Saya's arm from Amakawa Tsubasa's embrace. With a cold, beautiful face, she spoke to Amakawa Tsubasa in a very serious tone.

"Class monitor, you should be more mindful of your image, right? Saku is my bodyguard now, and it's his work time. Please don't bother him, okay?"

Chapter 501 Hasn't it always been like this?

"I was just waiting to go home with Saya-kun. He came over first saying he needed to take care of your business. If we're going by the order of arrival, then I think you're the one who shouldn't get in our way, right?"

Amakawa Tsubasa is not a weak or soft-spoken girl, especially in front of Saya, whom she would never give up. She is even less likely to back down.

Judging from Kaguya's attitude, it's clear she's come to terms with her own feelings, just like I have. Is this a formal declaration of war?

Although Kaguya's interference prevented her from holding onto Saya's arm, she still stayed close to him, showing no intention of moving away from him.

At least when it came to dealing with this guy, the two of them were on equal footing.

"Well, there's something strange about you two. Shouldn't the most important thing right now be getting back? We probably can't take this car, right?"

Sawa had no idea that the two of them had already been secretly fighting back and forth. He only felt that their relationship seemed to have deteriorated a little, so he could only quickly change the subject and look at Kaguya's car, which was somewhat deformed from the collision.

It was obviously unrealistic to ride this thing back, but Zuoyou didn't want to stay here with the attackers, whose True Word Church had been turned into statues, basking in the sunset.

"Then, Saya-kun, let's continue riding back. These people are all after Kaguya-kun, so it's only right that we let her deal with them, right?"

Amakawa Tsubasa picked up where Saya left off, quickly sat back on the back of Saya's bicycle, and smiled sweetly at him.

Although she was a little jealous that he had only thought about helping Kaguya as soon as he got back, considering that Saya hadn't forgotten her and had allowed her to hug his waist and lean her body against his back along the way, Amakawa Tsubasa felt that she had come out on top.

Now that Saya is clearly in a hurry to go back, she can legitimately continue to lean on his back.

"Hmm, is that so? Then Hui, you..."

Saya was in a hurry to go home, but halfway through his sentence, he saw Kaguya's eyes, which seemed to want to devour him alive. He couldn't bring himself to say that he would leave her here to deal with these guys and go back first.

"Miss, I'm fine here. Do you need me to arrange a car to take you back?"

Just when the atmosphere became awkward, Reisen, who came out of the car, helped Kaguya out of the predicament.

With a sense of relief at surviving a disaster, she stood behind Kaguya, unlike the jealous girl who had just been thrown into a jealous rage.

Reisen clearly understood even better that, despite Zuoyou's relaxed demeanor, they would have faced an extremely dangerous situation if he hadn't come.

That's why she now understands why Kaguya trusts and loves him so much.

Reisen doesn't think her young lady can resist being won over by someone who can give Kaguya such a sense of security.

However, it seems that the enemy the young lady is facing is no simple matter, but this is all she can do to help her.

"With Lingxian here, I can go back with you. You don't want to ride your bike alone and leave me behind, do you?"

Kaguya looked directly into Saya's eyes. She could tell from his expression that he definitely didn't want to take the car back, but she would never agree to let him ride a bicycle back with that girl with glasses.

Sōyū scratched his head awkwardly. It was just an ordinary bicycle; it was asking too much of it to carry three people. After all, it was just a Mihong product. Why was he trying to persuade an Indian?

"Yes, Kaguya-san, Saya-san's car can only carry one person, so you'll have to wait for the car that's coming to pick you up later."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Amakawa Tsubasa emphasized the words "Only one person" with particular clarity, even deliberately stressing them out, as if to stress something.

Kaguya exchanged a nonchalant glance with Amakawa Tsubasa, and sparks seemed to fly between their eyes. Even the oblivious Saya couldn't help but notice this.

"Well, how about we walk back? It's not that far anyway, and walking is healthier, right? More exercise, right?"

Saya forced himself to stand between the two, and after flashing a bright smile, he spoke.

"By the way, I can also tell you about what I just experienced, it's definitely very interesting."

Sawa, who was reminiscing about the time he spent with these girls in ancient times, suddenly felt a pang of self-deprecation. His life back then was so peaceful; he just spent his time fighting monsters and leveling up. He never had to deal with these two completely unfathomable girls. Thinking about that ordinary life made him realize something was wrong with his brain.

After silently criticizing himself, Saku finally received replies from the two girls. (That kind of thing...)

Kaguya frowned slightly. She had originally wanted Saya to choose one of them to take away, but in the end, she chose to compromise.

Putting everything else aside, she was indeed curious and worried about what Sawa had done before.

But only Kaguya herself knew that the incident she was complaining about wasn't because Saya had abandoned his post and put her in danger, but rather because she only complained about him not being there for her.

"I'll do as you said, Saya-kun. Traveling more is indeed quite good, and I also need to know what happened to you before, that feeling of not being able to contact you..."

Compared to Kaguya, Tsubasa Amakawa was much more casual. She didn't care about anything else. Having made up her mind to make Saya hers, she was content as long as she could stay by the boy's side.

It's much better than letting Saya spend time alone with Kaguya.

"Let's go then. I've only been gone for a few hours, but you two seem to have changed so much." whl

Sōyū looked at the two girls with some curiosity. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that they seemed to be getting closer to him.

"Really? Hasn't it always been like this?"

Amakawa Tsubasa and Kaguya answered him in unison.

Chapter 502 Immortality

On the way back, Saya pondered for a long time whether or not to tell the two of them about his accidental return to the past.

Going back a thousand years or something, it just feels a bit too shocking.

In reality, the only truly dangerous moment for Saga was the incident before he traveled through time.

The infighting between the Three-Eyed Spider and Bubble was the most perplexing thing for Sasuke during this period.

With his current abilities, as long as he's not facing a god, there's basically no danger to him.

With over 800 faith points, Zuoyou felt that even if he encountered that bubble clone again, he could still escape from it.

"In other words, the reason I disappeared for a short period of time was because I was sent to another world."

Sōyū didn't really want to tell them after much consideration, but he couldn't resist the curious yet concerned looks from Amakawa Tsubasa and Kaguya behind him, which made him too embarrassed to keep it from them.

Moreover, Saya also noticed that as long as he didn't speak, a tense atmosphere would fill the space between the two of them, like a fuse being lit on a powder keg, as if it could explode at any moment.

However, Sōyū did not mention that it happened a thousand years ago, nor did he go into details about what happened. He simply picked out some interesting anecdotes and jokes and gave a brief account of the past.

But that was enough to shock the two girls.

In just a few short hours, Saku had actually spent a very long time in the other world.

It's no wonder Saya thought they wouldn't believe it; it was truly too outrageous. Several points higher.

A thought quickly crossed her mind, and she soon realized a rather serious problem.

"Saya-kun, since you've been over there for so long, have you made any new friends?"

Ignoring Kaguya, who was still looking at Saya with disbelief, Amakawa Tsubasa had already thought of the most crucial question.

Is Sayu the kind of person who actively flirts with women? At the same time, he also has the attribute of passively attracting romantic relationships.

It's hard to be sure whether this guy has secretly or unintentionally flirted with a few girls again.

She already has enough rivals to guard against; she needs to figure out if any new competitors have emerged.

Sōyū glanced down at his toes before raising his head.

"If we're called friends, we probably won't be able to see each other again. Besides, she never said we were friends, but I think that's the right way to describe our relationship."

She sighed silently. Although Shibata Ai had become Enma Ai, she was still herself at heart, and they would definitely still have to deal with each other in the future.

On the contrary, Kikyo, being human, should have already become a wandering spirit by now, and may have even gone through many reincarnations.

However, Saga didn't feel too much regret. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal occurrences. If Kikyo wanted to live forever, it wasn't impossible for her with her spiritual power. Since we didn't see her at this time, we can only say that it was her choice.

At this point, for some reason, Sōyu suddenly glanced at the two girls behind him.

In the prime of their youth, they are at their most beautiful and energetic, but time never stops, and even the most beautiful faces will grow old one day.

But for some reason, Sawa really didn't want to accept this.

Having essentially confirmed that his nature as a blocky being had no lifespan, the thought that he might not be able to see these two again in just a few decades filled him with an unbearable feeling.

"Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on lifespan, Amakawa Tsubasa? What if you could live forever, but at the cost of giving up your humanity?"

Before Amakawa Tsubasa could even complain about how he had managed to provoke another person in such a short time, Sawa took the initiative to ask her a very serious question.

"Immortality? Why would you ask such a question, Sawa-kun?"

Amakawa Tsubasa paused for a moment, and although she was somewhat puzzled, she still answered Saya's question with her own thoughts.

"The key to immortality is whether you have someone by your side, and whether that person can also live forever."

"Being able to live forever with the person you love is of course the happiest thing, but if it's not like that, it becomes a kind of torture."

With Saya's power, immortality should be a simple matter for him. But it's different for me. I don't need a hundred years; in just over a decade, her beauty will fade. At that time, will Saya still be able to accept me staying by his side as I am now?

"As for whether I am still human or not, I am not someone who cares so much about other people's opinions, nor do I have any particular insistence. As long as I am still myself, I don't care about the rest."

Even though she understood that Sōyū wasn't someone who cared about their respective identities, the thought that even if she were with him in the future, she would only have a few short decades of his life to herself, and that it might even become a shackle and constraint for his entire life, made Amakawa Tsubasa feel a sense of fear.

What she feared was not her own death, but the misfortune that her death would bring to Saya. Suddenly, she felt that as long as she could be with Saya, maintaining this feeling was enough.

Perhaps we can go further, but there's absolutely no need to bind him to your side and make him your own.

After all, she could only accompany Saya for a few short decades.

Perhaps this is a long life for humans, but for beings that can live forever, it is just a fleeting moment.

Saya, standing to the side, nodded silently before turning to look at Kaguya.
