Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Of course I don't belong here, but the one on your ship is obviously not from here either. You let me leave, so why can't you let her go? You and I both know she's innocent." Sōyu narrowed his eyes, meeting her blood-red gaze, but his finger pointed at Amakawa Tsubasa beside him.

"Whether someone is guilty or not is not for me to decide; I am simply fulfilling my duty."

A flicker of numbness crossed the girl's eyes. She didn't react much to Saya's words, but slowly raised her hand towards Saya's location. The final warning echoed across the river. Saya wiped the bits of meat from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and firmly raised a finger and shook it at her.

"You can't even convince yourself, how can you expect to convince me? So, I refuse." The enchanted diamond sword was once again replaced with an enchanted bow, and Zuoyou didn't hesitate to aim at his opponent and draw the bowstring. The Burner's arrow was engulfed by the surging black energy, but at the same time, Zuoyou, who was originally standing in the same spot, disappeared without a trace.

With his full speed unleashed, Sōyū bypassed the black mist rushing towards him at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, heading straight for the girl on the waka ship.

The black mist that was unavoidable on the path was completely blocked by the shield he held. When the Bone Woman came to her senses, Saya once again moved closer to the girl.

"You know it's useless." The kimono-clad girl coldly watched Saya's sword-wielding movements, shaking her head as the black aura around her quickly condensed into a shield in front of her. The sky-blue blade struck the girl protected by the black aura, producing a sharp, grinding sound. But even so, the blade couldn't break through the defense, remaining firmly stuck. However, Saya, having failed again, revealed a smile, exchanging a glance with the girl through a gap in the black aura.

"Useless? I think it's very useful. My goal is just to drive you away."

A strange power surged from the longsword held by Zuoyou, directly blasting the girl behind the black mist backward. Behind her, a small wooden boat that Zuoyou had lowered at some point was already waiting.

Chapter Seventy-Four: This is a characteristic

The girl was knocked back two steps by a strong force. The longsword in Saya's hand hadn't harmed her, and she couldn't understand what he meant by simply knocking her back. Behind her was only the small, slender boat Saya had come in on; nothing else.

Moreover, even that small boat didn't carry any power fluctuations; it was just a wooden boat.

But the kimono-clad girl miscalculated; she never imagined that the only thing in Saya's possession that might have power fluctuations was an enchanted item. What Saya truly wanted to exploit was based on the rules of the original Minecraft, the legendary special effects.

In Minecraft, boats are not just for swimming; they are even an essential part of achieving manual and peaceful gameplay.

As the girl in the kimono pushed the boat to the top, she felt a strange suction force coming from inside the cabin. Even with all her strength, she couldn't resist the peculiar pull. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting obediently in the boat, her hands on the oars, unable to move anymore.

"What did you do?" A look of astonishment finally appeared in the girl's eyes. This seemingly inconspicuous little boat seemed to contain an extremely peculiar power that directly suppressed her movements. Even the hellish power she possessed was completely suppressed at this moment.

"I'm just offering you a ride so you can quiet down and then I can do what I want." Sawa's smile widened with satisfaction at his successful scheme, and he reached out to rub the head of the once arrogant girl with a smug grin.

Hmm, the smooth feel of it makes it no wonder this guy's dolls are among the best-selling in the otaku community. Meanwhile, the other two, who had been completely absorbed in the battle between Saya and the girl, were even more astonished. The girl, who had been dominating Saya the entire time, was now trapped in that small boat due to a single mistake. Even though Saya had made a very disrespectful move, she could only watch helplessly.

"You bastard, what did you do to Miss!" Anna Masane, regaining her senses, immediately opened her claws and pounced on Wakasa Yu.

"Hey, wait a minute. If you come any closer, I can't guarantee I won't do something even worse to her."

The gleaming diamond sword reappeared in his hand. Saku held it against the girl's slender neck and then spoke to the charging Bone Woman.

"mean!'

Suspended in mid-air, the Bone Woman glanced at Saya with a look of disgust before plunging into the water. She drifted a short distance away from Saya, watching his actions with a wary gaze.

"This isn't despicable. In fact, isn't it your underhanded practice of dragging people into hell that's even more despicable?"

Sōyū looked at the girl trapped in the small boat with an indifferent expression and said...

"You can't escape." After struggling for a while and realizing that she couldn't get off the small boat no matter what, the girl gave up resisting. She just raised her head slightly and looked at the pattern in the darkness, still responding to Saya in that indifferent tone.

Sawa, seeing her gaze fall upon the cross pattern in the sky, immediately remembered what it was and raised his middle finger in that direction, his disdain deepening.

"When even the masters of Hell can no longer distinguish right from wrong, the emergence of Hell Correspondence is hardly surprising. Like father, like son—that's exactly what they mean by this. Knowing his words would reach the ears of that spider—who's been watching this place—Saya made no attempt to restrain himself. In his eyes, this so-called Hell Correspondence was absurd. When did human resentment need such mysterious forces to intervene? And to judge solely by resentment, without considering right or wrong, ultimately leading to the conclusion that the human heart is hell—isn't that utterly ridiculous?"

So even though he knew that the pattern in the sky was the eye of the Three-Eyed Spider, the true master of this hell, Sōyu still made such a provocative gesture.

The girl in the kimono, whether rendered speechless by Saya's words or having already foreseen his future, sighed and settled quietly on the small boat, remaining motionless. At that moment, she truly resembled a lifeless doll.

"Tsk, speechless now? Well then, I'll take my people and leave." Holding the girl hostage, he approached the ship again and took out another small boat from his backpack. He gestured angrily at Amakawa Tsubasa, who had been staring at him blankly without saying a word.

"Get on the ship, we should go back." With the kimono-clad girl no longer blocking his way, and even the Bone Woman standing beside him out of fear of Sawa, no one could stop him now.

"Saya-kun, if you treat me like this, how am I ever supposed to repay this debt of gratitude?"

Smiling, Yuuki accepted Saya's invitation and sat down in the small boat beside her, wanting to rub her cheeks. However, she discovered that she too was stuck to the boat and could no longer control her body. She finally understood why the seemingly unfathomable girl from before could only obediently sit in such a small boat. She really didn't know where Saya got these strange things from—they had no mystery whatsoever, and they had absolutely nothing to do with science.

“Talking about this between friends would hurt our feelings. You disappeared right under my nose. I couldn’t bring myself to have you sent to hell before I told you the information you had.”

Sōyū looked up at the strange eye pattern in the sky again. Since it wasn't going to stop him, he was really leaving. Who would want to stay in a place like this? It wasn't as peaceful as Komachi's place. Whether it was the vengeful spirits in the river or those terrifying ghosts, these were all things that would make people feel uncomfortable.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Thank you for your hospitality. See you again someday." After putting down the long sword that was still pressed against the girl's neck, Sōyū pushed her and the small boat away into the distance, then quickly flipped over and sat on the wooden boat next to Amakawa Tsubasa.

"Let's go, let's go home." Saya started the engine again and pointed in the direction of the Old Hell. He took Amakawa Tsubasa and boarded a small boat, which transformed into a torpedo and disappeared at the end of the Sanzu River.

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Taste of Saga

"Miss, are you alright?" The Bone Woman, who had grabbed the drifting boat the moment Sawa pushed the girl out, asked the girl inside with concern. The girl in the kimono shook her head, but was still unable to move inside the boat.

"I'll get you out right away." Seeing that her young lady was still trapped inside the small boat, the Bone Woman's face showed an anxious expression. After carefully inspecting the small boat, which really was not much different from a coffin, she directly hit the hull of the boat with great force.

There was no obstacle from the powerful force one had imagined. In fact, the boat was no different from an ordinary small boat. The superhuman strength easily disintegrated the boat, and after it was disintegrated, the girl sitting on top like a doll finally regained her freedom.

Looking down at the wreckage of the small boat, the kimono-clad girl hovering above the water twitched her small hand. The suppressed power returned to her body, but this only deepened her confusion. It was just a simple wooden boat; why did it possess such wondrous power?

"Miss, are we going to chase after that guy?" The Bone Woman, who had rescued the girl, breathed a sigh of relief, but seemed wary of something. She glanced at the pattern hanging in the sky and asked. The girl stared in the direction where Saya had disappeared, calmly shaking her head. Just as Saya had said, her duty was merely to guide people to hell. Now she had done everything within her power, and the rest was no longer her responsibility. As for how to explain it to the Three-Eyed Spider, hadn't it been watching from the sky the whole time? Since it hadn't spoken yet, it naturally tacitly approved of Saya's actions.

Although I don't know the reason, it has nothing to do with her anymore.

"Let's go back. Another request has come in." The girl straightened her slightly disheveled kimono, turned around, and walked onto the small boat moored nearby, speaking to the Bone Woman who was still hesitating about whether to snatch the girl back from Saya.

As the two sailed away, the Sanzu River returned to calm once more. Only the cross-like pattern in the sky seemed to shrink like a pupil before silently dissipating into the air. Turning the perspective to Saya, he felt slightly embarrassed that his boat was moving so fast that the vengeful spirits at the bottom of the river couldn't catch up. It wasn't that he was worried about being chased; it was simply that while the small boat was fast, it was undeniably a bit too small.

It was already a bit comical for one person to sit there, let alone two; it was practically too cramped. Amakawa Tsubasa's entire body was pressed against his back, and the two soft mounds hidden beneath her school uniform were slightly deformed from the pressure. Saya didn't even need to consciously focus on his back to feel that excessively soft sensation. "This girl, did she forget to bring...you know?" Forcing his attention away from that strange feeling, Saya glanced at the bespectacled girl who had been silent since boarding the ship.

How does it feel to be sent to hell?

To break the dull atmosphere, Saya casually asked in a lighthearted tone, starting with a random topic.

"Saku-kun, do you realize that this is a landmine for me?"

Seemingly realizing she was getting a little too close to Saya, the girl lowered her head, her face flushed, and her voice held an undeniable melancholy.

"Hmm? How about we try something different? How about watching boats on the Sanzu River? That would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Although he didn't know why she said that, Sōyū tactfully changed the subject, instead boasting about what he was doing. To propel a wooden boat to that speed, you absolutely couldn't do it without some kind of blocky human bloodline.

“I understand the logic. But are you sure we’re not sinking deeper into hell?” Whi Yuchuanyi raised her head, took a deep breath, and continued the topic that Ruo Zuoyou had brought up.

The direction they were traveling in was actually the same direction that the girl had tried to take her to. If it weren't for the fact that only a somewhat eccentric boy like Sawa could do such a thing, Amakawa Tsubasa would have even suspected that something was faked.

"Well, sometimes you have to be in a desperate situation to survive. Actually, going back from here isn't impossible, but there's a surveillance camera above me, and I don't want to expose my hand in a place like this."

Sōyū glanced at the moon-like pattern hanging high in the sky and shook his head at Wakami Tsubasa.

It's best not to let that guy up there know about the ability to build a direct portal between Hell and the mortal world. If he gets tricked, it would be a huge loss. It'll be much better once we're back in the old Hell under the jurisdiction of the Four Seasons. Besides, the coordinates there are exactly where he built the portal in the mortal world beneath the classroom. Otherwise, if he built another Hell portal here, a corresponding one would have to be created in the mortal world as well. Then, when he and Amakawa Tsubasa come out from there, how to resolve the situation would become a problem.

“I believe you.” Amakawa Tsubasa gazed at Saya’s not-so-broad back, and thinking of what he had done, a warm feeling welled up inside her, and her voice softened even more.

With a smile, Saya teased Amakawa Tsubasa behind him, his face full of pride.

The last person he remembered to pull people out of hell was a monkey with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth.

I guess I've achieved something in this regard.

"Teasing? Saya-kun, so you like little sister-type characters? If you call yourself 'older brother,' do you want me to call you 'Onii-chan'?" Ayakawa Tsubasa chuckled softly, bringing her face even closer to Saya. Thanks to the fact that this guy never smoked or drank, he didn't have any unpleasant smell. If anything, it was just a faint... smell of grilled pork cutlet? Remembering that this guy hadn't forgotten to gnaw on pork cutlet even during the battle, Ayakawa Tsubasa's smile widened. In typical novels, shouldn't guys like this have a faint scent of shampoo and shower gel, preferably a refreshing minty fragrance? This was the first time she'd ever seen a boy smelling like grilled pork cutlet. But, to be honest, Ayakawa Tsubasa's little nose twitched again, and while Saya wasn't looking, she gently pressed her face against his back. She didn't mind.

Chapter Seventy-Six: I Have Someone Above Me

"Just kidding. Don't take it seriously. The most important thing right now is to get out of this awful place, right?" They saw that new...

"If you don't stop me, I'm really going to leave with my men. That would be blatantly disrupting your business. Is that alright?"

Instead of rushing to dismantle the barrier, Sōyū turned around and spoke to the cherry blossom-colored cross pattern in the sky that seemed to never change its position.

The cross pattern shrank inward, as if to answer Saya's question, transforming into an eye on the back of the spider, which slowly descended from the sky.

"You are breaking the rules of hell."

A deep, elderly man's voice came from the direction of the spider, carrying an indescribable air of authority, as if it were about to crush Saya onto the ice.

"Are these the rules of Hell, or your rules? You need to clarify that, right?" whl

Sōyū was not intimidated by this aura. Instead, he casually waved his hand and secretly stood in front of the small boat that Yūkawa was riding, staring directly at the spider that looked strange no matter how he looked at it.

"As a controller of hell, you should at least be able to distinguish right from wrong."

Sōyu cleared his throat and, as if he were a different person, spoke to the spider in a way that sounded like a lecture.

"The sentence above was something a friend asked me to tell you when I came here. I think you understand what she means." Zuo You crossed his arms and stared directly at the spider hanging upside down. The reason for his confidence was revealed.

Before he broke through the barrier, the Yama King had already spoken to him once. Although it was just a single sentence that needed to be relayed, Sōyū knew that was enough. He didn't know whether the Three-Eyed Spider or the Four Seasons was more powerful; frankly, they were characters from two different hells. But since the Four Seasons dared to ask him to relay the message, he must believe her. This was tantamount to the Four Seasons implicitly supporting his actions. In simpler terms, he had powerful connections!

Sure enough, after Saya said those words, the spider's eyes, which had been staring angrily at Saya, narrowed instantly, as if it had recalled some unpleasant memory. The spider silk hanging in mid-air pulled it back into the sky.

"I'm giving her face this time, but pray that you won't become the target of Hell Communications one day."

After uttering a harsh remark, Cang Zhe's male voice disappeared along with the spider, and the sense of crisis emanating from all around him dissipated from Sōyū's side.

"I have a feeling this guy is trying to plant a flag for me."

Silently muttering a comment about this classic scene of a villain making a threat before leaving, Sōyu turned around and looked at Amakawa Tsubasa, who was staring straight at him.

"I spoke with their project manager to prevent them from bringing you in again later, otherwise I would have wasted my time."

After briefly explaining his actions to her in a joking tone, Sōyū shrugged.

"Saya-kun, why did you go to such lengths for me? I want to know the real answer in your heart." Amakawa Tsubasa didn't care what Saya had said to that monster earlier. Instead, he took a deep breath and asked Saya with a serious expression that Saya had never seen before.

"Well, you're the first friend I've made in this world? Plus, I've been quite dissatisfied with Hell Communication for a while now, so this is kind of my own opinion." Saku pondered for a moment, then playfully pinched his chin.

Although it was Amakawa Tsubasa who first suggested becoming friends, and her motives didn't seem entirely pure, it has to be said that Saya really enjoyed the feeling of being able to talk about anything with her, which was exactly what he lacked in that blocky world.

As for the first one, Kaguya did indeed date earlier than Amakawa Tsubasa, but Saya doesn't think they have a friendship, or rather, their relationship is somewhat twisted and awkward. In short, it's impossible to make a direct judgment.

Therefore, whether driven by Saya's somewhat excessive sense of justice or based on his relationship with Amakawa Tsubasa, doing such a thing was actually quite normal for him.

Moreover, it's not particularly difficult. On the contrary, if Amakawa Tsubasa were sent to heaven, then Saya would have no way to put his ideas into action.

"Just friends?" Amakawa Tsubasa saw no deception or concealment in Saya's eyes, which only deepened her confusion.

"Otherwise, it's not that I'm lusting after your body; what I actually want is for you to repay me with your body."

Sōyū glanced at her voluptuous figure, which was hidden by her oversized school uniform, and said jokingly.

"That's actually more acceptable to me, Saya-kun." Amakawa Tsubasa nodded quite seriously, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing me. We can talk about it when we get back. We're not exactly safe right now."
