Don't force me to use my right fist.

Speaking of which, I just thought Hatsaki Tessa was a master of riddles, but now it seems that the real professional has arrived. It's safe to say that there aren't many of the gods in the Cthulhu faction who can speak properly.

"Business doesn't look too good. I hope you won't mind if I come and support you?"

A girl named Shubu Chiya pulled her younger sister along and sat down at Saya's table as if they were old friends. She first pushed Saya to sit next to Saya without any politeness, and then swaggered to sit opposite Hatsaki Tessa.

Shubu Chiya tapped the table with her slender fingers and looked at the white-haired, red-eyed woman in front of her. Her gaze was exactly the same as how Hatsaki Tessa had looked at Saya just now.

They all seemed like hunters who had their eyes on their prey.

Just moments ago, Hatsaki Tessa was incredibly enthusiastic, chatting and laughing with Saya. In an instant, her face turned cold, as if she had seen something extremely disgusting, and she turned her head away unhappily.

"What are you talking about? Do you think you can interfere with who I can be friends with? Do you think you can do that, Lady Hanezaki?"

As if they were old friends, Shubu Chiya skillfully joked with the woman in front of her, but her tone sounded like she was mocking her.

Sōyū was completely dumbfounded, so much so that he had unintentionally achieved the legendary situation of having women on both sides without even realizing it.

How do these two parents know each other? And they seem to be at odds with each other, more like sarcastic enemies than friends.

I initially thought he'd just be labeled a scumbag and get a lot of flak, but before anything's even announced, it looks like their parents are about to have a physical fight?

Saku glanced at the two equally bewildered girls beside him, a look of confusion in his eyes. From their expressions, he could tell it was unlikely they knew anything.

Could someone please explain to me what exactly is going on?

"I have no intention of negotiating with you. I came here today simply to confirm something I wanted to know; it has little to do with you."

Saya's thoughts were unknown to others, but from Hatsaki Tessa's words, one could still sense a degree of apprehension towards the black-haired woman before him.

Clearly, even if she is a so-called Greater Grail, she is still somewhat insignificant in the eyes of someone like Qianye, whose true form is an Outer God.

"Really? Then why can't I just come along to accompany my little sister shopping and maybe check out the guys she likes?"

With a keen interest, Shubu Chiya glanced back at Saya, completely ignoring her younger sister's face, which seemed to be bursting with embarrassment, and spoke up.

"Oh, by the way, what you confirmed is definitely completely different from what you thought, right? Are you still feeling a little relieved, thinking that things might be turning out for the better?"

Shubu Chiya, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her tone, looked at Yuzaki Tessa with a serious expression, and said in an extremely earnest tone.

"It's just a pity that he hasn't fully understood himself yet. If he wants it to end so easily, it won't be that simple. Of course, I won't let things end so easily either." wh

The serious expression only lasted for a moment, like a fleeting illusion, before Shubu Chiyo quickly put on a smile again.

"Seeing you get the short end of the stick is really interesting. Don't worry, I don't intend to take action. At most, I'll just steer things in a more interesting direction."

With these two riddle-solving people sandwiched in the middle, Saya's head was spinning. He really couldn't understand what these guys were saying. After glancing at Kaguya and Saya, who were equally confused, he finally decided to pull them up to their feet.

"Since both of your parents know each other, you can continue catching up. We younger generation can just find a place to sit and won't bother you."

With a "what the hell" attitude, Saya dragged Kaguya and Saya straight to the kitchen. Things were already troublesome enough; he might as well say everything he wanted to say. The rest was up to these two—they could demolish the school along with it, but that wouldn't concern him, Saya.

While Hatsaki Tessa wanted to stop him, she was quickly stopped by Shubu Chiya.

"He's absolutely right. We should let the younger generation handle things themselves; we don't need to interfere."

Chapter 633 He Speaks Out!

Kaguya and Saya were somewhat roughly led into the kitchen by Saya. Fortunately, they didn't want to be with their two parents anyway, so Saya's actions were a way of helping them out.

"Why are you back so soon?"

The kitchen wasn't just Saiyu's private space; Amakawa Tsubasa, who had been hiding there watching the show, was clearly not very welcoming of the two newcomers Saiyu had brought in.

"Don't you even consider the situation outside right now? Is this a place where a person can stay?"

Sōyū rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. Two riddle-solving people were one thing, but the real problem was that these two were the parents of the person he liked. This meant he could only suppress his anger and couldn't do anything about it.

"First of all, I need to clarify that I didn't bring her here."

Kaguya, deeply empathizing with Saya's feelings, frowned and sighed. She disliked being with that woman even more than Saya, but the problem was that these things weren't something she could simply decide to avoid.

As for her actions towards Saiyu, they had even less to do with her. At least, she never told Yuzaki Tessa about her time with Saiyu.

"My sister heard about the school festival and insisted on coming to see it. I never knew it would turn out like this."

Only Saya seemed a little confused and didn't quite understand the situation, but from Saya's eyes, it was clear that she was struggling to deal with the current situation, so she pitifully opened her mouth and explained.

The fact that her own sister knew Kaguya's mother, someone she could only ever see on TV or in newspapers—was something her imagination could never have fathomed.

Saya forced a smile. Frankly, it was all his fault; blaming it on the two girls was unreasonable.

Now, no matter what, it seems he has finally gathered together the girls he cares about most right now, at least the kind who have confessed their feelings to him.

No matter how many twists and turns there were before, we can finally talk things out clearly now.

"The reason I've brought you all here is to announce something."

Sōyū took a deep breath, putting his troubled feelings behind him, and then looked at the three girls present one by one before speaking.

Kaguya, who had originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks about Amakawa Tsubasa, swallowed her words. Amakawa Tsubasa also stopped what she was doing while making soup and, along with Saya, looked at the boy in front of her with puzzled eyes.

If Saya brought something up in such a serious and earnest tone, then it must be something very important, just as he said.

Unbeknownst to Saya, even the conversation between the two parents who were still confronting each other outside the door stopped on their own initiative, as if they could hear clearly what Saya was saying, and waited earnestly for him to say what he was going to say next.

...

Sōyū had barely uttered a sentence when he noticed a curious gaze fixed on him from the side.

"Um, Mami-san, if it's convenient, could you please step outside for a moment?"

Sawa is not someone who cares much about what others think of him. After all, people can say whatever they want, and no matter how capable he is, he shouldn't interfere with other people's thoughts.

Even if he didn't consider his own feelings, he still had to think about what the three girls, Amakawa Tsubasa and Kaguya, thought.

With such a huge yellow light bulb with twin ponytails standing here, Sawa felt that it would be difficult for anyone to bear it.

"Fine, I should be under the car, not here. Can't I leave your privacy?" wh

With a helpless shrug, Yamami figured that since Saya had said so, she would naturally go along with him. After all, being a third wheel really does take a lot of courage.

She decisively wiped her hands on her apron and walked straight out of the kitchen. But soon, she pretended to be nonchalant and moved closer to the wall closest to the kitchen, pricking up her little ears to listen intently.

Sōyū had no idea that so many people were looking forward to his performance. Even if he did know, he couldn't possibly give up his own ideas because of this.

Speaking it out would be the best solution, both for myself and for these girls.

Whether they will accept the proposal or slap him in the face is something they need to consider.

"Actually, what I wanted to say was..."

Sawa paused for a moment, and only after confirming that Kaguya and the other two were all focused on him did he grit his teeth and speak his mind.

"I like you all. If it's okay, would you like to date me? I don't want to give up on anyone, so in return, I will be responsible for all of you."

He said these words almost with a forced smile, keeping his eyes tightly shut and not daring to look them in the eye.

If you remove the word "door" from his words, they actually fit quite well with the atmosphere of the school festival. Confessing your feelings in the kitchen, while not exactly novel, at least shows his sincerity.

The sincerity in the tone conveyed the sentiment.

The problem is that he confessed to three girls in one go, and even seemed greedy enough to like them all and date them all. Isn't that the talk of an incredibly scummy, womanizing scumbag? wjh

Even if those three girls grabbed a kitchen knife and turned him into Saya sashimi on the spot, he felt that such a possibility still existed.

But after waiting for a long time, Sōyu didn't hear a single response from him that he should have received.

Even the scene he had imagined of being slapped hard across the face didn't happen; it was as if he hadn't said anything at all.

Saku cautiously opened his eyes, only to see Amakawa Tsubasa and Kaguya with expressions of helplessness mixed with certainty.

Chapter 634 I Don't Care

"That's just like something you'd say, Saya-kun. Wanting it all, isn't that a bit too greedy?"

Amakawa Tsubasa broke the awkward silence by speaking first. If anyone else had said something like that, she would have laughed her head off, but coming from Saya, she couldn't help but feel that it suited his personality.

She had previously tried to subtly test what this seemingly wooden, straight man's views on choosing a partner were like, so she was somewhat prepared.

There was nothing particularly surprising about it either; Kaguya, who was also present at the time, said something like "I want it all," which is something Saiyu would definitely say. And he certainly has the ability to back it up.

Kaguya knew perfectly well that it was not strange for powerful people to do things that defied common sense.

In this world, money and power are enough to trample on the so-called laws. Someone like Zuo You, practically a human nuclear bomb, could legalize having three girlfriends if he really wanted to. He could even legalize a harem of three thousand beauties just by talking to the brewery. But while she understands, getting her to accept this is clearly not so easy.

"This isn't just greed; it's wishful thinking. Do you really think your suggestion will be accepted? Have you considered our feelings about associating with all three of us at the same time?"

Kaguya gave Saya a disdainful look without any politeness, her face covered with a layer of frost.

In her eyes, everything else was something that could be traded with a price tag, but the only thing she didn't want to do was share her feelings for Sōyō with anyone else.

Sōyū sighed. Faced with Kaguya's disdainful expression, he felt no anger whatsoever. If he were in Kaguya's shoes, his reaction might not have been as simple as just contempt.

These days, anyone who wants to build a harem is probably unlucky enough to have been hacked to death, right? That's not fair.

Sōyū's expression was more serious than ever before. Just as he said, if he wanted to, he could easily maintain the ambiguous relationship with them as before, and all he had to do was continue to play dumb. But wouldn't that be toying with their feelings?

So your solution is to have it all?

Amakawa Tsubasa held his forehead. In this respect, Saya still maintained his straightforward personality, and it was hard to know what he was thinking.

Even if he didn't want to see any of them saddened by this, the proposed solution was still far too outrageous.

"Yes, I believe I am fully capable of making all of you happy, and I also believe I will not show favoritism towards any one of you. I like you, that's all. There's no need for so many unreasonable reasons."

Having said everything, Saya felt a sense of liberation, and even a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

Looking at Saya's serious face, Kaguya could no longer maintain her composure. Saya's bluntness was tantamount to cutting off her own path forward.

If she wanted to, she could slap him across the face right now and swagger out of the kitchen. She could guarantee that Zuoyou would never have any contact with her again.

"I'm very clear about this, which is why I'm saying it. Besides, you don't need my protection as much right now, so saying it now won't put any pressure on you."

Sōyū's lips twitched. He had completely dealt with the Truth Church that was hunting down Kaguya. He no longer needed to stay by the girl's side. Without this constraint, she could make decisions more in accordance with her own heart.

"Is this the kind of time you're thinking of me? Sometimes I really want to see what's going on in your head." whl

That's just his personality; he's always thinking of others, which really makes people feel uncomfortable for him.

It was the same before. Even with his terrible personality, he never complained or showed any disdain for me, and he never even said a word of blame.

Kaguya's current dislike for Sawa is less about her dislike for Sawa and more about her frustration with Sawa's disappointing performance.

But no matter what, even if Saya said these things out loud, she would never leave because of this.
