Don't force me to use my right fist.

It's this guy!

Qingjiu stopped smoking; he could never forget the identity of the person in front of him.

This guy dug through the foundation of the research institute and almost allowed two other monsters imprisoned inside to escape.

And that unique pumpkin head, it's hard to remember even if you don't want to!

"I, come on!"

Arrogantly pointing a thumbs-up at himself, then spreading his palms one in front of the other, Sawa, clad in sky-blue armor, stood imposingly between the strange man and the people from the brewery.

He'd wanted to do this for a long time.

"Are you here to get in our way? And you still say you're not weird?"

Harujiu put the cigarette back in her mouth and silently watched Saya's figure.

"Keep attacking. Since he's shown up here, let's take care of him too."

Vodka obviously didn't think that much, and directly ordered his men to continue throwing grenades in the direction of Sawa and the strange creature.

"Ahem, I don't really like this welcome gift~ But oh well, it's better to finish this quickly after all."

Realizing that he had already spent almost half a minute just making a grand entrance, Zuo You coughed twice and quickly saw the strange figure through the mist.

And then there was the braided girl peeking out from the infirmary floor, looking down at the monster with eyes that were a mixture of fear and curiosity.

Sure enough, she's still here. If it weren't for the fact that he, Zuoyou, isn't the kind of person who's irresponsible, her fate would be predictable.

Fortunately, the mist seemed to only work on the strange creatures. At most, Zuoyou felt a bit of a pungent smell, but it didn't have much of an effect. After getting used to the view, Zuoyou directly drew the diamond sword from the toolbar and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the strange creature that was still struggling.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry, so I'll have to trouble you to die once first."

He whispered something to the strange creature, and with his sharp diamond sword, he sliced ​​through the rubbery slime on its body, instantly tearing a huge gash in the middle.

From within the bizarre core composed of minced flesh and bones emerged a man's distorted face, his gaping mouth screaming, perfectly displaying his agony.

And that's not all.

Just as the slime frantically gathered towards the wound, trying to repair it, a flame suddenly rose from the wound cut open by the diamond sword.

Flame Enhancement II, the Barbecue God Knife.

In the blink of an eye, the flames spread to the monster's entire body. The slime seemed to be a natural flammable substance, fueling the fire. Even the surrounding water vapor could not suppress the strange burning.

"So you're weak to fire? You're really unlucky."

Surprised that his attack was so effective, Sōyu was stunned for a moment. Then, realizing that he didn't have much time left, he swung his longsword at the monster in front of him once again.

This time, Saya's sword sliced ​​through the middle of the monster, splitting it completely in two.

After glancing at the several slime balls that had appeared in his backpack, Sayu realized that these things probably wouldn't come back to life.

That also means he should go back.

The men in black on the periphery, including Qingjiu, were stunned. They never expected that this strange creature that suddenly appeared would withstand their attacks and turn around to kill the original one.

That doesn't make sense!

Looking at Saya, who had turned around and remained motionless after killing the monster, Haru could still only see the bottomless darkness through the pumpkin head he was wearing.

What is this guy thinking?

Just as Haruyu stopped the others from continuing to attack Saya and was about to go up and question him properly, Saya waved to them.

“ciao~”

The dark green sphere on the rooftop finally broke through the layers of spiderwebs and fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound before dissipating into the air.

At the same time, Sōyū, who had just been standing still, suddenly appeared in the spider web on the rooftop, leaving Haru and the others with only a faint, peculiar light effect that slowly dissipated like cherry blossoms.

So, what's going on here?

Even Qingjiu, who always prided herself on her exceptional reasoning abilities, could only stand there stunned, the thought echoing in her mind.

Chapter Thirty: A Very Serious Matter

"All done, time to go."

As Saya came down from upstairs, he called out to Kaguya, who was still watching the commotion below with great interest.

This guy just said he wasn't interested, but Zuoyou said it himself: who doesn't like watching the drama unfold these days?

Unless it's your own melon to eat, then that's a different story.

"Even though this is the second time I've said it, I'm still a little curious."

Kaguya blinked as she hugged the milk bucket, her eyes radiating a cute charm.

How did you do that?

She witnessed Saku fall from the sky and disappear on the spot. Even if he could manipulate the soil, he couldn't achieve that effect, right?

Unless he has other abilities.

"This is hard to explain to you clearly. Just think of it as me being able to teleport, but with a limited number of uses."

Sawa's cheerful expression instantly turned cold.

Kaguya's reminder made Saku realize that there didn't seem to be any monsters in this world that could drop Ender Pearls.

Wraiths can drop rotten flesh, and the monster below can drop slime balls, but Ender Pearls have different properties.

Who knows, maybe I really will only have those sixteen in my backpack, oh no, it's fifteen now.

How many more secrets do you still keep hidden from the public?

Kaguya Hazaki stared at Saya with an indescribable expression. The more she interacted with Saya, the more she could sense a mysterious aura emanating from him.

They're practically from another world.

"Who knows? In any case, what we should do now is get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise it will be no fun if those guys down below come looking for us."

Sōyu shook his head and left with Kaguya, leaving this perfect spot for watching the drama unfold.

Downstairs, Qingjiu, who had finally come to her senses, rubbed her throbbing temples, her complexion clearly not very good.

That guy got away again.

Moreover, they didn't know if this guy had leveled up or what, but before, at least there was a trajectory, but this time he just vanished into thin air right in front of them.

This is hard not to interpret as a provocation.

But then another question arises: why did the headless knight choose to attack another monster?

Thinking of what Saya had once said about not liking to kill, Haru fell into deep thought.

After a long while, the vodka, having cleaned up the scene, slowly walked to his boss's side, coughed lightly twice, and pulled Qingjiu, who was still thinking about something, back to reality.

"Boss, all the strange corpses over there have been cleaned up and retrieved. As of now, apart from a second-year male student from this school who was probably devoured by that monster, there's only a female student who just fainted from fright while resting in the infirmary upstairs in this building."

Sensing that Haru was in a bad mood, Vodka explained the results his subordinates had gathered without asking him why.

"Haven't you found the headless horseman from earlier?"

Qingjiu frowned deeply.

"No, we've searched the surrounding area and found nothing suspicious."

"Tsk, then keep a close eye on that female student you just mentioned who fainted. I have a feeling that her appearance is definitely related to this person."

Rubbing her throbbing temples, Qingjiu thought that if she hadn't deduced from the guy's words and actions that he was definitely a man, she would have considered whether it was that female student who did it.

"Boss, next time we go on a mission, should we bring Ali's latest research results with us? Otherwise, if we run into him again, we'll just have to watch him get away."

As if he had just thought of something, Vodka suggested something to Haruyu beside him.

"Okay, then take her with you. But the most important thing is that you call that girl back as soon as possible. Only with her here can I feel completely at ease."

Haruyu nodded and looked in the direction where Saya had disappeared.

"Just wait, I'll catch you one day."

-

Saya, who had already returned to the school gate with Kaguya, sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Who has their eye on him this time?

With this incident at school, classes had obviously been suspended long ago, and students were finally allowed to return to early morning classes after a long absence. As a result, Saya and Kaguya had no choice but to go home.

Poor Sawa had only been at the school for one day, and as a result, he hadn't experienced a single class by the time school ended.

He originally wanted to use his impressive university degree to crush these sheltered high school students.

But then I thought about it again, and it seems that ever since he got into university, Zuoyou has degenerated from an invincible senior high school student who knows everything about astronomy and geography into a caveman who needs a calculator to do addition and subtraction of numbers greater than three digits.

It's best not to make a fool of yourself.

"Aside from this damn curse, have you found any clues today?"

Sitting in the back seat of the luxury car that came to pick her up, Kaguya Yuzaki took off her little leather shoes and rubbed her slightly red toes through the thin black stockings.

She felt that this guy was really curious; he wanted to get involved in everything exciting. He was the same way when he saved her. She didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.

"Huh? I was with you almost the whole time, except for going to the office once. I don't even know the names of the students in the class. All I know is that the unlucky class monitor is named Amakawa Tsubasa."

Hmm, it seems there was also a Shubshaya sitting next to me.

Just hearing the name made Saya feel a little uneasy.

Coupled with that guy's particularly conspicuous green hair, Saya just hoped that she wasn't the same thing from the original work.

Otherwise, with the added benefit of this surname, Sawa doesn't know if he could withstand it.

"So, what did you find out when you went to the office?"

Kaguya Hazaki pressed further, saying that anything that could concern Saya couldn't possibly be as simple as just getting the textbook.

She wasn't throwing a tantrum because he left her at a crucial moment.

Not at all.

"Hey, you know what, it's true. Your class is full of talented people, but unfortunately, they shouldn't have much to do with the curse you're suffering from."

The mention of Huiyin immediately piqued Zuoyou's interest. Huiyin was a half-demon, and one whose identity had been confirmed. He just didn't know just how powerful she was.
