Don't force me to use my right fist.

“That’s not the same sword. The evidence for your argument is wrong from the start, but the conclusion is absolutely correct.”

That's right, Saku has more than one diamond sword.

After all, sharpness and necromancy cannot coexist.

Chapter Forty: After all, he's a fool.

"I see~ Then it seems that my knowledge of such extraordinary things is still insufficient."

Amakawa Tsubasa paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Now that I think about Saya-kun, I'm even more curious. So, Saya-kun, are you the weirdo those old men talk about? Or are you human?"

A glint of light flashed across the round lenses of her glasses, obscuring the girl's gaze.

"If I were weird, I would have eaten you long ago if you teased me like this."

Sōyū said irritably, "The thing I hate most right now is being treated like a human being all the time."

"Heh, that's right. Someone as kind as Saya wouldn't do anything as weird as they described."

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but Amakawa Tsubasa's eyes remained fixed on Saya.

"If Saya-kun were a weirdo, he wouldn't have risked being bullied himself by doing those things when he saw his classmates bullying Saya-kun, right?"

"Since you know about this, you should also understand that it should be your job as the class monitor to stop these people from doing what they are doing."

Upon hearing what Amakawa Tsubasa said, Saya's smile faded.

"It seems that Saya-kun has misunderstood. I am just an ordinary high school girl. I was appointed by the teacher as class representative, but I am not omnipotent."

Shaking his head, perhaps fearing that Saya would misunderstand, Amakawa Tsubasa quickly explained the reason.

"I've been trying to persuade them not to do this kind of thing for a long time, but can you expect to change human nature through words? Besides, they've only ignored and neglected me before. Even I can't say much about this kind of bullying."

"If it weren't for what happened yesterday, the classmates might still be maintaining this twisted relationship."

"The problem is that there is indeed substantial evidence regarding Saya's situation, and she knows it herself, which is why neither she nor I can choose to tell the teacher."

Frowning in distress, Amakawa Tsubasa glanced at Saya beside him out of the corner of his eye.

"Evidence? Substantial evidence? You don't mean to say she really brings a curse, do you?"

Zuoyou asked, stroking his chin. He had finally found someone in the know, and a highly intelligent one at that. He wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of it.

"I don't know, but the so-called substantial evidence is that any classmate who has been in contact with her for a long time will dream of terrifying things at night. Over time, the rumors became unstoppable."

"how about you?"

"I also wanted to prove that this was just a rumor, but unfortunately, it is true. In the class, the only one who can stay with Saya without being affected is probably Aqua."

Even Amakawa Tsubasa paled at the thought of the indescribable, terrifying monster made of tentacles and rotten flesh in his dream.

"After all, he's an idiot."

Saya helped her provide a reason.

Whether idiots dream or not is another matter, or rather, would a nightmare really be a nightmare for an idiot?

"Yeah, he's an idiot after all."

Amakawa Tsubasa nodded in agreement.

"Saya-kun, you met with Saya-kun today, right? Tonight, you'll find out whether this rumor is true or false."

"Just because of that?"

Sōyū rubbed his temples. Judging from Amakawa Tsubasa's reaction, this might actually be true.

"That's enough; that's just how people are."

Amakawa Tsubasa sighed. Even though it didn't cause any real damage, it was enough.

"Moreover, the reason why the classmates were determined to expel Saya from the class was because of what happened yesterday."

"yesterday?"

Sōyū looked puzzled. Did this happen after he left?

"That's right, Saya-kun should know about that strange thing yesterday, right? Because of its appearance, a student went missing."

"And that student just happened to be a delinquent upperclassman who had taken a liking to Saya's looks and had been forcing her to date him."

Do you think something like this is frightening enough for the other students in the class?

A hint of sadness flashed in Amakawa Tsubasa's eyes. Even though she knew that the famous senior's disappearance had nothing to do with Saya, she couldn't explain it to others. Perhaps that was why she told Saya all this.

Perhaps this headless horseman has some ideas?

"Saya probably thinks the same way herself."

The thought of the despair and sorrow in the eyes of the girl in the infirmary gave Saya a headache.

"Then I don't know. I only know what I know."

Ending the topic with his catchphrase, Amakawa Tsubasa approached Saya once more, pressing his fingers against his chest.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, Saya-kun? To repay your kindness, I'll tell you anything I know."

"Can I ask you what your purpose is first? What you're doing is making me a little uneasy."

Saya instinctively took a step back to avoid the girl's finger and asked.

This unsolicited kindness seems suspiciously suspicious, like something out of a malice or theft.

"Purpose? Putting aside feelings of gratitude, wouldn't it count as wanting to become friends with you, Saya-kun?"

Realizing that Saya might not really like this kind of physical contact, Amakawa Tsubasa sat down in a chair to the side, adjusted his glasses, and said.

That was her purpose. Sōyū's appearance opened a door to a world she had never explored before. Such an encounter must have been a destined one.

This is why she always hoped that Sōyu would propose a condition for repaying her kindness, since judging from his behavior, he wouldn't be the kind of person to make unreasonable demands.

"friend?"

This is a bit far removed from what happened to Zuoyou. In his first world, he did have a group of silly friends, but afterwards, all that was left were the cats and dogs he kept at home.

The world of Minecraft can be quite lonely. If you really want to say that Zuoyou has any friends, maybe that two-block-tall special black creature that comes to steal his pumpkins every day counts?

As for the world now, it goes without saying that Sōyu is all alone here, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about Kaguya.

"Yes, friend, if you wish, I wouldn't mind adding the word 'woman' in front of it."

Amakawa Tsubasa tilted his head, anticipating Saya's reply.

"Let's forget about it, my friend is a good friend."

Sawa subconsciously waved his hand. If only this guy didn't like joking so much.

"Since we're friends, how about we exchange contact information first?"

He took out his phone and shook it at Saya, a smile spreading across his face.

Chapter Forty-One Speculation

Having successfully obtained Saya's contact information, Amakawa Tsubasa dangled her legs while sitting on the table, revealing her fairly cheerful mood.

"Well, is there anything else you want to ask, Saya-kun? Like, anything about Kaguya-kun?"

After changing Saya's nickname in his phone to "Yu-kun," Amakawa Tsubasa turned to him and asked.

"How did you know I was going to ask... Never mind, you'll just repeat your catchphrase again."

"I just want to know, has Kaguya Hazaki offended anyone in class?"

Sōyū sighed. He no longer cared why this girl could even guess about Kaguya. It was good that this kind of person wasn't his enemy, otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

"Well, I don't think she's offended anyone. There are definitely people who are jealous of her, but it's unrealistic to say that they hate her to the point of cursing her to die."

As Amakawa Tsubasa looked at the ceiling and recalled, the main reason was that Kaguya rarely came to class and had even less interaction with her classmates, so she had no chance to provoke anyone's hatred.

The boy in front of me, however, is quite adept at mockery. He's only been here two days, but he's already managed to stir up hatred among the class.

It's only because she's the class monitor that she dared to pull him out for a talk so directly. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been resented as well.

Aside from Aqua, who was incredibly smart, she was already at the very bottom of the class's hierarchy of contempt, and everyone in the class secretly called her an idiot.

"That's strange. If no one holds a grudge against her, then who put that cursed videotape in her desk?"

Sawa, puzzled, pinched his chin and said.

"I think you could try a different approach, Saya-kun. Maybe that person didn't do it out of resentment towards Kaguya-kun at all?"

Amakawa Tsubasa put forward a bold hypothesis.

"If you really resent Kaguya, then that Hell Correspondence that's been all over the news lately is much more convenient, since it doesn't leave any evidence."

Amakawa Tsubasa, who had been paying close attention to these strange tales and rumors, reminded Saya that her intuition told her that the rumors about Hell Correspondence were very likely true.

It's worth noting that recently, the number of missing persons cases in Tokyo has inexplicably increased by a considerable amount.

"So I suspect that person's real purpose might simply be to use Kaguya's death to make a fuss."

"After all, you should know one thing: at least in Japan, Kaguya's influence is something you should know without me having to say it."

"As for the videotape you mentioned, it should be the culprit behind the monster that attacked us in the infirmary, right? That should be considered a kind of anomaly?"

Based on the information she had, Amakawa Tsubasa explained her conjecture to Saya.

Although Saya really wanted to tell Amakawa Tsubasa that the reason she didn't use Hell Communication might be because the price of it was that she would also have to go to hell, Saya thought about it again and realized that what she said made sense.

Qingjiu once said that most of the strange things are derived from various myths, legends, or urban legends.

The monster that Sawa fought, created by a curse, could only appear because of a curse.

In other words, could the other party be using Kaguya's death to amplify the urban legend surrounding the Ring?

You should know that Zuoyou couldn't find any clues about this thing on the internet back then. Either it was hidden too well, or it simply hadn't been known to the public yet.

But if Kaguya were to die because of this curse, the situation would be quite different.

When the time comes, all that's needed is to casually reveal a little information about this videotape, and the news about this curse will spread throughout Japan in a very short time. It has to be said that this is a brilliant move.

At that time, perhaps Ah Zhen inside will be able to manifest in the world directly without being burdened by the curse.
