Don't force me to use my right fist.

Kaguya rubbed her face against Saya's back, greedily inhaling his scent; only in this way could she feel truly safe.

In fact, Kaguya had seen Saya and Tsubasa Amakawa come out of the haunted house before, and that was part of the reason why she was in a bad mood.

But Sōyū's performance so far has been satisfactory enough for her, so she can only put those disappointing things aside for now.

"Then I'll tell you honestly, no, I like you because of the time we spend together. Whether you're rich or not, whether you're the daughter of some conglomerate or not, has nothing to do with me."

Saya turned around and looked at Kaguya, his eyes filled with sincerity, without any falsehood or pretense.

"Even if you really aren't, you're still the young lady in my heart, and I'll still treat you the same way. If all else fails, I'll take care of you."

Remembering a classic line from a movie, Sōyu recited it without hesitation.

In fact, if these girls wanted to, he had enough power to make them live the life of a rich lady.

He can support them, it's not a serious matter. Although it certainly won't reach the living standards of a wealthy family, it's certainly enough for the average well-off family.

"Oh? Yu-kun, are you serious? I'm quite delicate, you know. Don't let my casual eating habits fool you; my clothes and outfits cost a fortune." After receiving Saya's reply, Kaguya, though still joking with him, had eyes that curved into two beautiful crescent moons, enough to show her unparalleled happiness.

Since Sawa has already said such things, it means that he has accepted himself from the bottom of his heart, and not only accepted his identity, but also accepted everything about her, including everything about Kaguya Hanesaki.

"Besides, you know I have a terrible temper. When I lose my temper, I become unreasonable and domineering. Can you tolerate that?"

Kaguya tightened her grip on Saya's neck, pressing her body closer to him, before whispering in his ear, "..."

"You don't need to worry about money. I can support you without any problem. As long as you don't make any unreasonable demands, like asking for the stars or the moon, I should be able to meet them."

Sawa is quite confident in his financial abilities; with his current skills, what isn't a way to make money?

"It's just your personality, I can understand, but it's best not to affect others, otherwise it will make things difficult for me." Saya replied to her with a hint of helplessness, touching his ear which felt slightly itchy from Kaguya's breathing.

If she could be cured simply by spending money, Saya would gladly provide her with a mountain of gold. However, while Saya can understand her personality, he can't guarantee other girls will. If she doesn't change this, her future will be difficult. Hearing Saya bring up other people's issues, Kaguya's temper flared instantly. Wasn't he deliberately rubbing salt in the wound?

Seeing Sawa's face so close to hers, Kaguya didn't hesitate at all. She moved closer to his face and bit his earlobe.

Kaguya bit directly into Saya's weakest point with her pearly teeth, but when she actually made contact, she couldn't bring herself to bite down hard.

She knew very well that this guy was tough and thick-skinned, but this area was very vulnerable no matter how you looked at it. She didn't want to really hurt Sōyō, so all she did in the end was gently rub his ear with her pearly teeth.

Sōyū never expected Kaguya to do something so unbecoming of a young lady. In addition, his ears are a very sensitive area for him, and the stimulation was so intense that he almost threw Kaguya off his back.

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, don't think that just because you're strong I can't deal with you. I'll make you build a harem, and I'll bite you to death."

Kaguya, who was sucking on Saya's ear, revealed a smug smile, even though she knew very well that Saya...

This situation couldn't really be called his weakness, but seeing him begging for mercy like this still gave her a great sense of satisfaction.

"I was wrong, Kaguya, please let me go, Kaguya-chan~ Kaguya kiss?"

Sōyū was genuinely feeling unbearably itchy. Although, frankly speaking, this feeling was only comfortable for him, it was still a bit too strange. Fortunately, he had activated the fog earlier, otherwise, if someone saw his ugly appearance, he felt he might as well commit suicide.

Upon hearing Saku's incredibly cheesy nickname, uttered in desperation due to the intense itching, Kaguya laughed even harder.

Kaguya stuck out her little tongue and gently licked Saya's earlobe. Only then did Kaguya finally let him go, but at the same time, she also made her own request.

"In that case, let's elope."

Chapter 651 It's about being kept as a sugar daddy

Sawa, who had already stopped because of the intense itching, froze in his tracks. Kaguya hadn't teased him anymore, so why was she saying this to him now?

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Sōyū turned his head to look at the girl on his back, whose serious expression showed no hint of joking.

"ha?"

After struggling for a long time, Sawa could only utter this one word, tinged with doubt.

Saya's reaction didn't surprise Kaguya. She knew perfectly well that, in other people's eyes, a wealthy heiress like her eloping was nothing more than a joke.

If before she was only thinking about how to survive from those who were hunting her down, now that her life is no longer threatened, all she has left to do is plan for the future.

Before she met Saya, she might have become a puppet under Tisa's control, just as Tisa had planned, and it's not impossible that she would eventually replace her as the head of the Tisa Foundation.

Dedicating her life to her career, though somewhat dull, is still the best possible ending for a chaebol heiress compared to marrying a man she has no feelings for or becoming a sacrifice for political reasons.

But all of this is based on the premise that she had not met Saya.

After Saya stole her heart, Kaguya could no longer be the person she used to be. In her eyes, no matter what kind of conglomerate or power it was, it was all just fleeting smoke, and it couldn't even provide her with the most basic sense of security.

And all of these are feelings that only swimming brings her.

Therefore, given everything she currently possesses and Sōyū, she would choose the latter without hesitation.

Even though this choice seemed so impractical and didn't take into account any harem, in Kaguya's eyes, it was the best choice she could make.

The only thing that prevented her from making this decision was the uncertainty surrounding Sōyū. If he couldn't accept her, then no matter how much she gave up, it would be in vain.

Fortunately, her feelings were not in vain. Although Sōyū was somewhat of a womanizer, to be honest, at least in terms of his feelings for her, they were genuine.

"I said, let's elope. I don't want to be the young lady of the Yuzaki family anymore. You can take care of me."

Kaguya repeated her previous words once again, even speaking with the self-righteousness of a useless person.

"If you support me from now on, I'll focus on being your girlfriend. As for your relationships with other girls, as long as I don't see them, I'll pretend they never happened. After all, I'll be relying on you from now on, so I have no right to criticize you."

She raised a slender finger and seriously discussed the terms with Saiyu. Saiyu could sense that Kaguya was serious; she genuinely wanted to get rid of her rich girl status and become a useless person who lived off him.

You know, with Kaguya's qualifications, if she wanted to, she could just casually say something and countless men would be vying for her position. She wouldn't even need to lower herself to the point of not caring about feelings; just being able to become her lover would already be the dream of countless boys.

But unfortunately, she could only say these words to Saya, and only to him.

"You're making it sound like I'm keeping you as a mistress. Why would you give up being a proper young lady to come here and be a decorative vase for me?"

Sōyū gave a wry smile and didn't answer her question directly. Kaguya didn't seem to be joking, but that only made him more determined to find out what had happened.

This is the necessary reason to be responsible for Kaguya.

"It's not that I said it was like that, it's that this is exactly what I mean. I want you to take care of me. Didn't you already say that you would take care of me? You said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word."

Kaguya's gaze remained somewhat unfocused; she didn't want to give Saya a direct answer to his question. Instead, she ran her slender fingers along her face, which was even more delicate than egg white, and added to Saya's question in a seductive tone.

It has to be said that Kaguya's actions were truly terrifying in their impact. Saya's defenses wavered for a moment, and he almost agreed.

"If you just want me to take you somewhere to play, or even just want to escape your work, then I can agree to it anytime, and I can even help you unconditionally. But if you don't explain to me clearly that there's something going on, like eloping, then I might not be able to agree to it."

Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Saya looked seriously at the girl who was still trying to influence his decision with her beauty, and said to her very earnestly.

Saiyuu was well aware that Kaguya's status as a wealthy young lady carried a heavy burden, and he understood that she didn't want this kind of life.

If she only wanted to abandon this identity because of this, then Saya might actually agree.

But clearly, she couldn't have made this decision solely for this reason; there's more to it than that.

There must be other hidden reasons. I guess the reason she was so worried before was because of this.

"You Jun, you really are exceptionally sensitive in certain areas at times."

Seeing that Saya had made such a statement, Kaguya could only put away her fake expression and regain her previous somewhat sad look before resting her little head on Saya's back.

"My mother doesn't approve of me being with you. If I were still the eldest daughter of the Yuzaki family, I wouldn't be able to go against her decision. It's that simple."

Having whispered these words aloud, Kaguya felt a sense of relief. Indeed, sharing her innermost sorrows with Saya, even if the problem wasn't solved...

Chapter 652 I'm Sticking With You

Sōyū never imagined that the reason Kaguya was so conflicted was because of such a simple matter, but when it came to solving it, he was at a loss.

He might be willing to fight someone if they disagreed, but when it came to his mother-in-law's reluctance to marry her daughter off, he really couldn't say anything.

Seeing Saya's troubled expression, Kaguya laughed.

There aren't many things that could put this guy in a difficult position. It was he who insisted that she say it, and now he doesn't know what to do. He brought this trouble upon himself.

After all that commotion, Kaguya actually felt less annoyed. Sawa should have taken some responsibility for this anyway, so why should she be the only one feeling bad?

Saku carried Kaguya and pondered for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.

"If you really don't like that kind of pampered life, then eloping to my place isn't out of the question. I'll take care of you. When your mother comes to her senses, or when you figure things out yourself, it's not too late to go back then."

Sōyū sighed. After thinking it over, it seemed that the only reliable option was to agree to her request to elope.

Fortunately, she didn't need to do anything as outrageous as taking a boat to foreign countries overnight with Zuoyou. At worst, she could just continue living at his house and continue doing what she normally did. There was no need to act like she was really trying to escape her mother.

At most, if she disagrees, she'll cut off Kaguya's finances and power, but Saya could provide those things for her.

If Hatsaki Tessa really goes so far as to send people to capture Kaguya, then those people will have to get past Saya first.

He's not so easy to deal with.

If you want to snatch someone away from Sawa, you really need to consider whether you're capable enough.

Sōyū is least afraid of being attacked; on the contrary, when it comes to reason, he is actually in the wrong.

"Really? So that means you've accepted my offer and are going to keep me as your sugar daddy?"

Kaguya smiled and looked at Saya. His answer meant that he truly cared about her feelings and was willing to stand behind her and be her strong support.

If he agrees, well, let alone if the two of them actually elope to a foreign country, even if he takes her on some wilderness survival adventure, in Kaguya's eyes now, it would be an incredibly happy thing.

"It's taking in someone, not keeping them as a mistress. How can you say something like that? Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Sōyū rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. He's not keeping her as a mistress; he's simply taking her in at his home. Even if she did that, she'd just continue living as she does now, without needing to change anything.

"No, whether you're keeping me as a sugar daddy or taking me in, you still need to take responsibility for me, right? From now on, I can just rely on you."

Kaguya nuzzled against Saya's shoulder again, her face practically overflowing with happiness.

She had never felt so at ease before. Choosing this guy was definitely the wisest decision of her life, and that's why she could never give him up.

Even if he really is a womanizer, I'll let it go since he genuinely cares about me.

Anyway, there's plenty of time to win him back from those girls little by little. Kaguya may not be good at much else, but she's certainly had her share of these kinds of scheming and backstabbing in the business world.

"So what if you're going to cling to me? If you really want to talk about it, didn't you already cling to me the first time we met?"

Saya smiled helplessly. Being stuck with Kaguya was no easy thing, but it did provide him with a lot of fun. Most importantly, he was quite happy to be with this girl at times.

"Indeed, then tell me honestly, have you ever coveted my good looks while we were together?"

Kaguya, knowing full well the answer, teased Saya. No one knew her charm better than her; if Saya were to lie about something like this, he would only make a fool of himself.

But she just wanted to hear Saya praise her in person. A woman dresses up for the one she loves, and there's probably nothing more gratifying than heartfelt praise from someone you like.

"What you're saying, okay, you are, don't you know how good-looking you are?"
