Don't force me to use my right fist.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Sōyu vented all his pent-up frustrations in one breath, and as if to vent his anger, he actually threw several pieces of rotten flesh and slime balls into the black pot.

However, this time, as Saya threw the last piece of slime ball into the pot, the black pot automatically closed its lid and made the sound of food cooking.

At the same time, an indescribable stench emanated from the black pot, making even a man like Zuo You, who could eat rotten flesh, feel a slight urge to vomit.

"What do you want from me...?"

"vomit……"

As soon as Hazaki Kaguya pushed open the door to Saya's room and walked in, she was so overwhelmed by the smell that her vision went black before she could even finish a sentence.

"You bastard, how dare you cook shit in the room the young lady arranged for you!"

Behind Kaguya, the purple-haired girl who had followed her in covered her nose, gagged, and then pointed at Saya, shouting loudly.

"I don't!"

Sawa was almost in tears; how was he supposed to explain this?

Chapter Thirty-Four: So what is the price?

After finally explaining the situation to Kaguya, Saya and she sat down together in another guest room next door.

It's probably impossible to get into Sōyū's room right now; he himself would be nearly suffocated by the stench if he went in.

"Speak up, you didn't call me here just to make me suffer these sins, did you?"

Kaguya Hazaki wrinkled her little nose. She was already half-dead from drinking the whole bucket of milk that Saya had given her during the day, and now he had tricked her like this. Although she knew he didn't mean it, she couldn't expect him to have a good expression.

"Of course not, I assure you, it was just an accident."

Sawa scratched his face with his index finger, somewhat embarrassed. He hadn't expected the smell to be so strong.

"I just want you to help me collect some things; the quantity I need is quite large."

What do you want?

Kaguya tilted her head. If something could make Saya call her over alone, it must be very important. Perhaps, the difficulty of collecting it had reached the point where she had to see it in person.

"obsidian."

"Just because of that?"

Kaguya looked at Saya with suspicion; this person really couldn't be judged by common sense.

"Let me finish. I know you can easily get a lot of ordinary obsidian, but the problem is that I need a lot."

Saku rubbed his hands together. If he only wanted obsidian, the credit card Kaguya gave him would be enough to buy quite a lot, but his demand was just too great.

"How many?"

Ten cubic meters.

Zuoyou estimated it and revealed a rough number.

Kaguya's beautiful eyes widened. No wonder this guy wanted her to come here in person. Goodness, he started calculating by cubic meters right off the bat.

Although this thing isn't exactly a rare or precious item, it's still a gemstone, and finding so many at once is no easy feat.

"Is it important?"

After the initial surprise subsided, Kaguya took a deep breath, and her expression returned to its usual calm and composed state.

"I guess so, and it's also a precaution for the future, which is good for you too."

Sōyu nodded. In a sense, it was indeed quite important.

"Yes, but it will take a little time."

After receiving Saya's reply, Kaguya didn't ask any further questions. Since she had said she would trust him, she would keep her word.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Saku finally discovered one of Kaguya's strengths: she said what she meant and didn't need any further explanation.

"Was what you did in the room also very important?"

Seeing that he had nothing more to add, Kaguya pointed to the guest room he had just been in and asked with a hint of helplessness.

If this is also necessary, then perhaps his suggestion to find him a special place to live wouldn't be out of the question.

If this continues, even if Kaguya's house has a large area, it will eventually be permeated with his stench.

"Um, that was an accident, well, it should be an accident."

When this was mentioned, Zuoyou could no longer remain calm. He had no idea that this thing would cause such a big commotion. If he had known, he would have definitely dug a hole and made his move in a completely enclosed environment.

But in that case, it seems like I'd be the one who suffers?

The problem is that even Zuoyou doesn't know what this module can do yet. It can't be used to create biological weapons, can it?

"I hope this accident won't happen a second time."

Kaguya glanced at Saya coldly and left her seat.

"At least, next time you make this, don't call me."

After leaving behind her last words, Kaguya Hazaki walked out of Saya's room.

She needed to take a shower quickly; she felt that her clothes smelled of that room after she had been there.

Sawa, who had been left behind, sat awkwardly in his seat. He could still feel the resentful gaze coming from the girl in the suit by the door.

As Sōyū's temporary servant, she is the most pitiful one. If this guy manages to concoct another one of those things, she will be the first victim.

"Ding!"

Just as he was thinking about that strange mod, the black pot that Saku had abandoned in his original room made a crisp sound, like the sound of an oven finishing baking.

At the same time, a visible black aura seeped out from the cracks in the room that Saya had just moved out of; just looking at it was enough to make people want to stay away.

"Um, yours... is cooked."

After exchanging glances with Saya for two seconds, the purple-haired girl in the suit turned her head away and pointed to the room over there, suppressing a laugh.

"I……"

Forget it, even if it's something I made, I should still check what color it is. After all, it's my own work, so it's only right that I take a look.

With the resolve to die, Saya stood in front of the house, pushed open the tightly closed door, and went inside.

[Weakness I]

[Nausea II]

[Slow II]

[Poisoning I]

[Excavating Fatigue I] A long list of buffs appeared in Zuoyou's status bar the moment he stepped into the room. Even though he was holding his breath, Zuoyou still felt dizzy and lightheaded.

In the very center of the house, the culprit, a black pot, was boiling, with black, viscous liquid churning and bubbles constantly rising from the bottom and bursting open.

The black aura was seeping out from here.

Trembling, he took a glass bottle out of his backpack, turned his head away, and lightly waved it towards the pot.

The glass bottle remained still, and the pot continued to boil.

"Could it be that it's made of buckets?"

Zuoyou rummaged through his backpack and found that he had used the empty buckets to store other things. He covered his face in embarrassment.

No, there's another possibility.

He quickly took out a wooden bowl from his backpack and right-clicked on the iron pot.

The bubbling, unidentified viscous liquid quickly disappeared into the pot, and even the billowing black smoke vanished completely.

The row of buffs in the upper right corner also faded away as the strange pot of stuff disappeared. Zuoyou looked at the bowl of unidentified objects still gleaming strangely in his right hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over. If he had stayed any longer, even he would have died here.

【Love's Rotten Flesh Slime Soup】: Drink it~ This is Steve's fate. (Recipe unlocks after three uses)

As always, no specific effect was explained, and another mysterious item has appeared in Zuoyou's backpack.

However, Sawa didn't think he would have any chance of tasting this thing. The buff from the smell alone was terrifying enough. He should use it for poisoning.

The effect will definitely be great.

Chapter Thirty-Five has a story to tell.

The investigation had to continue on the second day, and even someone as busy as Kaguya chose to accompany Saya to the school once again.

The origin of that videotape remains a mystery.

“I have a feeling that the guys who tried to kill you with guns earlier, and the guy who put this videotape on your desk, don’t seem to be in cahoots.”

Saya, who had arrived at class early with Kaguya, fiddled with the videotape that he had neglected in his backpack and shared his speculation.

There was no reason to prove it; it was simply a feeling he had.

I agree with that.

Kaguya glanced at the somewhat worn videotape in his hand and leaned back with lingering fear.

Sōyū's speculation was correct. If this was a group of people, they wouldn't need to go to such great lengths to attack him every time. Using something so extraordinary would make killing him quite easy.

But that's even stranger. Kaguya does know she has a few enemies, after all, she's the heir to a large conglomerate, so it's normal for people to have designs on her. But she has never offended anyone with supernatural powers.

If I really had to pick, it would be Saya.

Have you ever offended anyone in your class?

Sōyū looked around the classroom, which had only a few people present yet. It was better to start by investigating the people around him.

"Including yesterday's time, I've only been attending classes in this class for less than a week. Do you think I have time to offend anyone?"

Kaguya raised her head. She wasn't just an ordinary high school student; where would she find so much time to enjoy school life?

In addition, given her usual personality, she's not the type to actively interact with classmates. She doesn't even know everyone in her class, so who could she possibly offend?

"This is interesting. You have no grudge against anyone, so how much must someone hate you to throw something like this on your desk?"
